Oxford Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours (BFRBs) Conference 2026

Oxford Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours (BFRBs) Conference 2026 is organized by University of Oxford and will be held from Oct 08 - 10, 2026 at University of Oxford, Oxford, England, United States of America.

Description:
In partnership with BFRB UK & Ireland, the Oxford BFRB Conference 2026 will bring together researchers, clinicians, and people with lived experience of Body?Focused Repetitive Behaviours (BFRBs). Across three days, the event will explore cutting edge scientific research, clinical practice, and lived experience perspectives, with a particular focus on the relationship between skin, hair, brain, and behaviour.

Days 1 and 2 (8–9 October) will feature talks from experts across dermatology, psychiatry, psychology, neuroscience, and the BFRB community, exploring the skin–brain relationship, clinical management, and lived experience perspectives.

Day 3 (Saturday 10 October) will be a smaller Community Day designed for people living with BFRBs, and their family and friends, to connect and share in a relaxed and informal setting. Activities will include creative sessions, optional wellbeing activities, support groups, and a summary of key themes from the scientific programme.
