About The Organizer
Orchard OCD is a UK-based charity organisation committed to accelerating the development of new and more effective treatments for people suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Guided by a mission to advance collaborative translational research, Orchard OCD builds interdisciplinary communities of researchers, clinicians, and people with lived experience to promote innovation and scientific discovery in the field of OCD. Through research grants, clinical trial funding, data hubs and scientific conferences like the Orchard OCD International Scientific Conference, the organisation drives transformative progress in understanding, detecting, and treating OCD.
Orchard OCD’s approach emphasises inclusivity, patient involvement, and rigorous science to ensure that research outcomes translate meaningfully to clinical application. Their vision is a world where all individuals affected by OCD have access to effective, evidence-based treatment and support.
