CBT for Insomnia MasterclassInfo Location Contact Event Information
DescriptionThe CBT for insomnia masterclass is designed to support qualified PWP’s to develop clinical competency and confidence with the effective assessment and treatment of sleep difficulties in patients presenting for step 2 treatment, either as a disorder on its own or as a comorbid presentation. It will utilize a range of psychoeducational tools and specific techniques to aid symptoms of insomnia. A range of engaging teaching methods are used throughout the day to provide an optimal engaging experience and to cater for different learning styles including lectures, small and large group discussions, individual reflection and skills practice. The content of the masterclass will cover exploring the structure and biological basis of sleep, what is insomnia (and what it isn’t), it explores the clinical presentation of patients who indicate insomnia, what to look for in a step 2 assessment and how to differentiate it from other disorders. It explores the evidence-base, the rationale and the different stages of sleep interventions at Step 2, including the importance of psychoeducation, stimulus control, and where clinically indicated, sleep restriction. Finally, it will explore when sleep interventions are clinically indicated to use at step 2 (inclusion/exclusion criteria) and common difficulties encountered by patients and practitioners and how to overcome them.
