Requests for meetings and research trials
Part of the UK Trauma Group, Combat Stress ascribes to mainstream evidence-based practice.
We receive many requests for meetings to consider innovative treatments. We also receive similar requests to offer our facilities and patients to trial innovative treatments. As a matter of policy we do not offer meetings. We would request that the evidence base is sent in writing for consideration. We will then respond.
It is also our policy not to take part in clinical trials utilising treatments that have no mainstream psychological theories as their basis; and we do not adopt or trial treatments that do no have a scientifically proven mainstream evidence base. All our treatments have to pass rigorous clinical governance regulations, as laid down by our clinical governance policies.
