Institute of Psychotherapy and Disability

1. Institute of Psychotherapy and Disability Members Survey 2013

2. How useful have IPD conferences and seminars been for you?

3. Have not gone to one yet they provide a great opportunity for practitioners to come together, both within the UK and in Ireland. The one last year in Birmingham could have been much better advertised in the Midlands - despite offers locally to do this and to help, this wasn't taken up. It would be productive to work more collaboratively in order to make use of local knowledge to promote this important area. great for networking

4. How useful has IPD's status as a UKCP listing organisation been to you?

5. I am still very confused as to what benefits it carries. As far as I can determine it does not confer any individual membership of UKCP? An update on what it all means would be appreciated. progressing relationship with UKCP needs to be a priority. I was very keen to get my UKCP accreditation via IPD and I'm frustrated that IPD has not been able to provide this way in.

6. How useful has IPD's website been to you?

7. If the website could be updated more frequently it would be more useful. Old information could be taken down or laid out differently to highlight some of the fantastic events IPD has done in the recent years. Contact details need to be updated as it can be confusing. Font, should be more consistent so it is more visually appealing. didn't know you had one I'm glad we have a website but think it's underused. It needs to have time and effort put into it to make a useful resource. I have not really used this aspect of the IPD

36. All formats of training are useful and could provide an exciting experience for clinicians. There is very little training in this area so IPD has a real opportunity to lead this work. With the right marketing there could be interest across Europe for potential attendees Webinars, distance mentoring and consultation

37. We want to find better ways of communicating with you about developments within the IPD and in the disability field, and of involving you more in these developments. What are the best ways of communicating with you?

38. Quarterly newsletter

39. Six-monthly newsletter

40. Quarterly email

41. Six-monthly email

42. Annual email

43. AGMs

44. More frequent meetings

45. Extremely useful

46. Quarterly or 6 monthly newsletters/emails would be a great way to keep IPD alive in the minds of the members. A call for submissions for newsletters also invites others to share their work and experiences and can promote greater inclusion in the organisation on line networking I think that a newsletter or email would be helpful in knowing what is going on with the IPD

47. What subjects are you most interested in receiving IPD input on?

48. Psychodynamic psychotherapy

49. Developmental aspects of disability

50. Physical disability
