The British and Irish Group for the Study of Personality Disorder
BIGSPD was formed in 1999 as a forum for networking in the field of personality disorder. This began as a small annual conference, predominantly for clinicians but has evolved significantly over the past 25 years. BIGSPD is an organisation which values lived experience equally to those who are traditionally trained. This is reflected in our co-presidency, executive committee, organisational values and in our conference content.
