Upcoming Webinars

All of our webinars are centred around evidence-based research, and our speakers are some of the leading lights in the field. ACAMH is a charity, and we receive no government funding, nor do we ask for donations. We try to keep our costs as low as possible. Don’t forget as a charity any surplus made is reinvested back as we work to our vision of ‘Sharing best evidence, improving practice’.

Can’t make it on the day? Don’t worry! Delegates have exclusive access to recordings and slides for 90 days after the event, plus a personalised CPD certificate via email.
