Presenters
 |
Dr. K.J.S. Anand is a recognised and award-winning researcher. He has published extensively on consciousness and pain perception in very young children - down to the foetal stage. Dr Anand's presentation will provide attendees with a greater understanding of fetal and infant pain perception. He will further provide an understanding of the child's early development of cortical functions and consciousness, and finally, Dr Anand will talk about the connection between consciousness, pain and child development. |
 |
Dr. Stacy Drury (MD and PhD) focuses her clinical and research work on exploring the relationship between early development, the child-parent relationship and the interaction between genetics and environment, primarily in children with cancer. She works to develop psychological interventions to reduce children's anxiety and worry during treatment and hospitalisation in order to prevent long-term negative psychological sequelae as a result of these hospitalisations and treatments. |
 |
Dr. Janet Rennick Rennick (PhD, Project Nurse) will provide an overview of current knowledge on the potential psychological sequelae of paediatric PICU (Peadiatric Intensive Care Units) admissions. She will discuss the complexity of 'measuring' these psychological sequelae and will then identify the challenges of using self-report questionnaires for children who are or have been hospitalised in PICUs. |
 |

He is the author of more than 200 scientific articles in international scientific journals and the editor of three textbooks on psychiatry, child psychiatry and ADHD.

He has spent many years researching children's social development and how this development can underlie many childhood mental health problems. In his clinical work, he leads a specialised developmental clinic at Manchester Children's Hospital, which includes the assessment and treatment of children suffering from severe anxiety and stress disorders and a range of other disorders that can impair children's development. In his presentation, Jonathan Green will talk about the Manchester Child Attachment Story Task, which he and his colleagues use to assess and understand children's experiences. |
