SUMMARY:Body Focused Repetitive Behaviours (BFRBs) Con 2026
DESCRIPTION:Body Focused Repetitive Behaviours (BFRBs) are a group of complex mental health disorders that are characterised by the uncontrollable urge to pull\, pick\, scratch\, cut or bite one’s own skin\, hair or nails. These behaviours are not simply bad habits\, they are often chronic\, difficult to control and associated with high levels of emotional distress.  They can have profound impact on everyday life\, including work\, education\, relationships and general social functioning. \n\nBFRB Con 2026 will bring together clinicians\, researchers and people with lived experience to support knowledge exchange\, professional development and community-building around Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours (BFRBs). The conference aims to foster collaboration across disciplines\, inspire new research initiatives and advance dialogue on BFRBs\, with lived experience remaining central throughout the event. \n\nCosts to attend:\n\n\nProgramme information: Programme — BFRB Con 2026\nRegister for the event: Registration — BFRB Con 2026\n\nEmail with any queries: bfrb@psych.ox.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Adaptive Innovative Methods (AIM) Launch
DESCRIPTION:AIM is a new NIHR Biomedical Research Centre: Oxford Health digital community designed to support innovation in psychological treatments for children\, adolescents\, and young adults. \nWe believe young people deserve better mental health support.  This means treatments that are not only evidence-based\, but also more effective\, more accessible\, and more acceptable within the realities of their lives. \nOur focus is on making that a reality by identifying and targeting modifiable mechanisms maintaining mental health issues in young people. \nAIM is a digital community aiming to build better treatments through: \n📚 A searchable library of practical\, validated measures of psychological mechanisms \n📍Guidance and resources to support the development\, evaluation and implementation of mechanism-based interventions. \n🎙️A series of seminars showcasing work that exemplifies this approach to treatment innovation. \n👥👥Importantly\, AIM is not just a repository but a community. We want to bring together clinicians\, researchers\, and those with lived experience to share knowledge\, inform innovation\, and ensure that new approaches are meaningful and usable in practice. \n🗓️We would be delighted if you could join us at the launch event to learn more about the platform\, how it can support your work and ways to join this growing community.

SUMMARY:Register now: Free Public Talk on Neurodiversity and Research
DESCRIPTION:April marks Autism Acceptance Month\, an important opportunity to move beyond awareness and focus on meaningful inclusion.   \nAs understanding of neurodiversity grows\, so too does recognition of the need for research that better reflects and supports neurodivergent communities. Yet despite increasing attention\, neurodivergent people remain under-represented in many areas of mental health research.  \nJoin us for a special podcast-style panel conversation featuring 3 expert brain and mental health researchers who will explore two complementary perspectives.   \nThe discussion will consider how neurodivergent participants can be more effectively included within broader mental and brain health research\, as well as the importance of designing research projects specifically tailored for neurodivergent communities from the outset.  \nTogether\, we will reflect on the opportunities\, challenges and responsibilities involved in building more inclusive research practices. How can we design studies that are accessible\, respectful and responsive? What does genuine inclusion look like in practice?  \nSpeakers:  \n\nProfessor Clare Mackay is a Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Oxford whose research uses neuroimaging to understand risk for psychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions\, alongside leading translational work through the Oxford Centre for Human Brain Activity and the NIHR Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centre (BRC: Oxford Health). More recently\, she has developed a significant academic and advocacy focus on body‑focused repetitive behaviours\, including trichotillomania\, working to improve understanding\, reduce stigma and develop better interventions for this under‑served community. \n\n\nDr Eri Ichijo is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Oxford University Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging . Her research aims to improve our understanding of pain experience in the autistic population. She is particularly interested in exploring the relationship between the cognitive modulation of pain and individual differences. \n\n\nDr Alice Quinton is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Oxford’s Department of Experimental Psychology. Her research focuses on interventions for anxiety-related mental imagery (or “flashforwards”) with a particular interest in the experiences of neurodivergent young adults. \n\nQuestions will be put to the speakers by event host Andreia Costa\, Project Manager for Training & Career Development at BRC: Oxford Health and Chair of the Neurodiversity & Disability Working Group at University of Oxford’s Department of Psychiatry. Andreia is an advocate for the neurodivergent community and hosts the Neurodiverse Voices Connect Podcast.   \n  \nThere are 100 spaces available in the Lecture Theatre\, which will be allocated on a first come basis. \nPlease use this public talk registration form to sign up for a place. \n  \nCoffee is available in the common room from 5:30pm and the event will start promptly at 6:00pm. \nAny questions email: Sophie.Ray@oxfordhealth.nhs.uk

SUMMARY:Masterclass: Clinical Trials and Health Systems Data
DESCRIPTION:Clinical trials are essential for evaluating new treatments\, and there is growing interest in harnessing health systems data (HSD) to enhance their efficiency and effectiveness. HSD can offer researchers and trialists valuable opportunities to streamline key processes such as identifying eligible participants\, monitoring trial progress in real time\, enabling remote follow-up and capturing outcomes. Yet\, its use also presents challenges\, as researchers must navigate complex regulatory and legal frameworks that can hinder broader adoption. \nAim: In this masterclass series\, we aim to explore how HSD can advance clinical research\, with a particular focus on decentralized and large simple trials. By examining the challenges and sharing lessons learned\, the talks will highlight practical strategies\, methodological considerations and opportunities to strengthen the integration of HSD into trial design and execution. \nA further hands-on session relevant to all clinical trial roles particularly DPhils and ECRs will explore some useful resources and skills for researchers to develop and optimise their trial design. \nMore information and agenda here.  \nLink to booking form. \nPlease note registrations close on Monday 26 January 2026 at midday
