PETAL

The PETAL programme has started its clinical trial to test the PETAL therapy. We want to understand whether PETAL therapy will be helpful for adults with learning disability who display aggressive challenging behaviour and their carers. ⬇️ (1/4)

We're delighted that our Trial Manager has been invited to present PETAL at TEWV Learning Disability Research Event! @TEWV @TEWVresearch #LearningDisabilityWeek2025 #LDWeek2025

We have now recruited over 150 dyads of adults with learning disability and their carers to the PETAL main trial! 1⃣5⃣0⃣🎉We are grateful to everyone who has decided to join us. @NoclorResearch @likahassiotis @PRIMENT_UCL
