We are pleased to welcome everyone, online and in person, to this Manchester Psychoanalytic Development Trust conference.
Please see below for links and attachments which will ensure all participants have an optimum conference experience. Do print these items as required, as we will not be providing printed conference packs at the event.
If you are attending in person, you may be interested to know that we’ll be running a second-hand psychoanalytic bookstall to raise funds for our charity. We can only accept cash, however, so please bear that in mind. Donations of psychoanalytic books would be most welcome if you feel able to help us in our aim to make psychoanalytical learning more accessible.
If you are attending online, we will send you the Zoom link shortly before the event. If you don’t receive it by Thursday 9 July, please contact us.
Katharina, one of our trustees, will be available from 8.45am on conference day to assist online attenders, so please do let her know if you have any problems or queries (her contact details will be sent with your Zoom link).
We look forward to joining with you on 11 July for what promises to be a fascinating day

We would draw your attention to the strict confidentiality requirements in relation to attendance at this event. Please note that by attending this event, you are accepting these terms and agree to comply with these requirements.
Participants to our events will come from many professional groups and registering bodies. We expect that everyone attending events, whether in-person or online, will adhere to the boundaries of confidentiality in relation to clinical material. This includes not repeating or sharing any confidential material, nor taking screenshots, audio, or any other electronic recording of events. We will include a statement about this on each event’s publicity and booking form, and as usual, this will be re-iterated at the event itself.
It is the responsibility of presenters at CPD events, including those at clinical seminars, to ensure that any clinical material is anonymized, with confidentiality as a priority. In some instances, presenters may be able to gain informed consent from patients. Anonymising can include using composite clinical material. If images are used, these must meet the same expectation of confidentiality, and if this cannot be met, presenters may need to describe images verbally or exclude such images from the presentation.
These actions are the responsibility of each speaker/presenter and not of MPDT Trustees. For further information, please contact us at
Marion Lindsay, Chair MPDT
