Monday 20 February 2017 – Prof Angela Hassiotis will be giving the Tizard lecture “Service level delivery of positive behaviour support: what does the evidence suggest?” PBS is an established and widely used treatment for challenging behaviour with additional gains in quality of life. Although many studies of PBS exist, none of those has been a randomised controlled trial (RCT). For the past 4 years Prof Hassiotis and her team have carried out a cluster RCT of community services staff delivered PBS which included a clinical and cost evaluation and a process evaluation. In the seminar, Prof Hassiotis shall discuss the trial findings and issues arising from conducting research in complex interventions and consider PBS implementation within the emerging landscape of transforming care.
This is being held at the earlier time of 1600 hrs in DLT2 (Darwin College)
