Celebrate our 15th annual conference in 2019 as we bring our nationwide annual conference to Northampton on Saturday 16th November 2019.

Each year we push the boundaries to deliver an informative and inspiring event and 2019's conference will be one to remember.

The OCD-UK annual conference is a unique opportunity for people affected by Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder to come together to be educated, informed, inspired and empowered.

The conference agenda will bring together some of the best experts in the field of OCD and inspiring presentations from people with lived experience of OCD.

With five different seminar streams to choose from during the day, there will be something for everyone.

This presentation took place at the 2018 OCD-UK conference, hosted in Brighton.

Some of the key topics the OCD-UK conference will cover of offer education, guidance, hope and inspiration about the treatment of OCD.

The Northampton OCD Conference was carefully planned by members of the OCD-UK team, all of whom have lived experience of living with and seeking treatment for OCD, and in collaboration with health professionals to ensure that we created a conference programme that offers exactly what our audience needs and wants. We hope you like the proposed agenda.
