The HCR20 and Structured Professional Judgments
of Risk: an update
Facilitators:
Professor Chris Webster (Author of HCR20)
Professor Nicola Gray (Director of WARRN)
One-day Workshop
Structured professional judgment of future risks
(as exemplified by the HCR20) have become
popular clinical instruments in recent years.
The success of these instruments has led to
several developments, namely the further
development of the HCR20 in light of feedback
from users etc. (version 3), the development of
other instruments designed to predict other
risks or risk in other situations (e.g.. START,
EARL), and a massive expansion in the
evidence-base for both the HCR20 and other SPJs.
This workshop will therefore aim to
Update on developments in the HCR20
Update on the development of other SPJs
Update on the evidence-base and research
relating to SPJs
Provide a forum for discussion of peoples
experiences using SPJs, including implementing
their use within a Trust or team etc.
The workshop is aimed at all professions who
use, or have an interest, in using SPJs. The
nature of the workshop is to update people
not to provide basic training, hence all
delegates should have received training on HCR20
or a similar SPJ scheme.
