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.
Raising the profile of Video Interaction Guidance with families of children who have a Learning Disability
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.

A tool to show the Skill Development Scale items in the Shared Review
Play Therapist at Bridgend Council
Alison describes how the focus of her poster is the SDS items as used in the shared review. The purpose of making it "was to clarify in my own mind which items were used, when and how". She used the SDS numbers to form a simple visual pattern that reads as a process from the bottom upwards in black and white. Item '3' is in the middle of picture because it is the main focus of the shared review, item '2' is underneath it - because it is the purpose of the shared review and item '10' is above it because it is the review.
Items '1, 4, 11, and 13' are all in circles in each corner because they have a connection that goes outside of the shared review. Items '5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 12' stand beside item '3' in the centre of the poster, as they are what happens in the real time of the shared review. The film strip effect reminds us that the shared review is all about the video, so it runs through the centre of the poster. Any questions or to discuss Alison's poster with her, please email her.
