National Hoarding Conference 2019

Tickets Now on Sale for Birmingham NHC Roadshow

After the massive success of the first UK National Hoarding Conference, our team decided that we wanted to spend 2019 expanding the dialogue and engaging in more localised discussions in order to drive our positive change agenda forward. We’ll be hosting three smaller conferences (Wales: July 2019, Scotland: October 2019 – TBC).

This year, we’ve decided that the panel, including people with hoarding behaviour and family members, will sit throughout the day, feeding into all discussions. To improve networking, we’re going to bring people from all areas together instead of breaking out into workshops. We, as last year, are limiting presentation time to allow more time for engaged, proactive conversations.

Our panel currently includes:

Prof Paul Salkovskis (Clinical Psychologist, Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust & University of Oxford): KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Heather Matuozzo (Chair, HUK/Director CloudsEnd CIC): PARTNERSHIP WORKING

Dr Satwant Singh (Clinical Director, HUK/IAPT Newham and Waltham Forest): PSYCHOLOGY

Janice Connolly (Artistic Director Women and Theatre) Showing an excerpt from her one-woman show “Stuff”: MEDIA

Julie Wilson (Trainer, HUK/Optivo Neighbourhood Manager): HOUSING PROFESSIONALS

Lee Markwick (Trainer, HUK/Retired Fire Officer & NHS Mental Health & Safety Officer): EMERGENCY SERVICES

Ellis Turner (Senior Lecturer Environmental Health, UWE): ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH

Michelle Murray, Esq. (Trustee, HUK/Senior Commissioning Officer, Adult Social Care, Kingston Council): LEGAL/ADVOCACY

Megan Karnes (Founder/Director, HUK): USER INVOLVEMENT
