CONFERENCE POSTERS 2024
VIG and VERP
We had SUCH an excellent array of Posters, showing great creativity, innovation, and the most diverse range of projects and uses of VIG and VERP to date. We're showing some of the ones we had permission to put on our website below. ​Do get in touch with the Poster creators... to find out even more, or to ask them to share their Posters directly with you. Many of these will also appear on our Research Database.... so do look out for that too - aiming to launch our first iteration in Autumn 2025, at the 9th October Conference.

ELEVATE: Enhancing Clinical Skills teaching using VIG with Speech and Language Therapy Students
​
Lauren Flannery
​University of East Anglia​​
​
​​​Project ELEVATE aims to enhance clinical skills teaching by using VIG with Speech and Language Therapy students. The project has demonstrated that VIG intervention is a powerful teaching tool for developing clinical skills in healthcare students. VIG enhances self-awareness, elicits strength-based reflective practice and develops critical thinking skills. By activating students and maximising the power of the video clips, VIG offers a unique and effective approach to developing attuned interactions, advancing communication skills, enhancing professionalism, and improving clinical competence in healthcare students.

Creating Wider Participation when supporting families involved with social care through VIG
Jonathon Boulton and Nathaniel Spring
​
Our poster describes our work with families involved with social care and our use of VIG in the outdoors to gain an increase in participation, in particular it highlights the effectiveness of our work with male carers who often do not feel included. It also highlights that a lot of our VIG work is with older children.

Sophie Levitt, Emma Hignett and Claire Buckley
​
These two connected posters describe: recent use in the NHS of VIG with families of children who have a Learning Disability; a feasibility trial of remotely-delivered Video Interaction Guidance for families of children with a Learning Disability referred to specialist mental health services; and how work on the trial has already raised the profile of VIG with families of children who have a Learning Disability.

Formulation & Video Interaction Guidance
Ann Hockaday and Helen Davis
​
Our poster incorporates ideas about how important formulation is to Video Interaction Guidance work. A good formulation includes an understanding of a person within their broader context, their hopes, and their past experiences. This information can then be used alongside the Principles of Attuned Interaction and Guidance to create the most activating clips and to help frame some of the discussions within shared reviews.

Salford Trainees’ Experiences of Initial VIG Training
Ellie Bourne
​
Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust​​
​
This poster explored the experiences of practitioners from Salford who have recently completed their Initial VIG training. This training was funded through the Best Start For Life initiative.​
Sharing and Celebrating All That VIG Brings to Us
Helen Gibson and Clare Lowry
​
The poster was an opportunity to reflect on all that VIG brings to us as Practitioners and Supervisors. Practitioners and Supervisors were asked to describe their VIG training experience in 3 words and the personal and professional impact VIG has had on them. We collated the 43 responses to create a Wordcloud. The top 10 words that were used to describe personal and professional impact were; growth, confidence, rewarding, learning, uplifting transformation, understanding, helpful, attuned, enhanced. We are still reflecting on our next steps to share this very positive feedback.
