The HCR-20 is a practical tool for the clinical assessment of risk of violence in the mentally disordered. Its use is becoming increasingly widespread in forensic and general adult psychiatric services and provides empirically-based structured clinical guidance by combining information about historical risk factors that have a strong evidence base with dynamic, variable clinical risk factors and clinical judgments. The aim of this workshop is for you to become familiar with the principles underpinning risk assessment in the mentally disordered, competent in the use of the HCR-20 instrument and capable of formulating a comprehensive, detailed risk assessment and risk management plan for your patients.

After you have attended this workshop you will be:

• familiar with the basic principles underpinning the assessment and management of risk
• competent in the use of HCR-20 as a basis for conducting risk assessments in your clinical practice
• able to formulate structured risk assessments and risk management plans.
