Dr Hayes introduces the broad categories of psychiatric medication, detailing their uses, mechanisms, effects, and side effects. Despite our initial concerns that the presentation might be too scientific, Dr Hayes made complex information easy to understand and engaging. He encouraged interaction, answering numerous questions, making the event lively and informative.

Delegates received comprehensive details on all psychiatric medications, including those prescribed for non-psychological reasons that impact mental health. Dr Hayes’ extensive NHS experience with complex and high-risk patients was evident. He emphasized the importance of understanding clients’ relationships with their medications.

Key topics covered included medication considerations for therapy clients, suicidality in young people, ADHD, autism, psilocybin, Covid vaccinations, complex trauma, brain functioning, CBD, and cannabis. Dr Hayes’ relaxed and interactive teaching style was highly praised, prompting Bramham Therapy to invite him for future CPD events.
