BIGSPD Awards
NOMINATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED AND THE WINNERS WILL BE SELECTED IN DUE COURSE.
We are inviting nominations for the BIGSPD Awards 2019. The BIGSPD Awards are slightly different this year. They recognise ‘qualities’, rather than individual roles. Importantly, they are open to any practitioner, researcher, administrator, service user or carer whose work is connected with the care of those affected by the difficulties associated with the diagnosis of ‘personality disorder’. They are also open to both individuals and to groups.
