Over the past three months I, probably like most have benefitted from the movement in small micro - cap stock that have risen heavily on increased liquidity. The next stock, despite having benefitted from a massive surge in share price back in April, that I have focused on is Ultrasis. This company is poised to secure the ever increasing Mental Health Market both at home and in the US (Several lucrative contracts already announced)through its suite of highly effective software.

The companies web address is as follows http://www.ultrasis.co.uk

I for one have gone heavily into this stock and am prepared to wait for the realisation of its potential to kick in .I would advise others to do so

DYOR

lost a fortune on it years ago take care has it a big spread still

does anyone have any idea on the potential of this company for the year ahead

i know this stock inside out losing money over the last 4 years.the potential is large but this does not mean people will use the product if you look at the last rns statement companies are unwilling to use new products.i spoke to graham lewis after the results ,cost cutting over the last few years have reduced the operating costs down to 1million pounds.the last finicial year sales were 500,000 pound.if there is an uptake by customers then should be an operating profit having said that the nhs cancelled one contract which hurt sales due to a new tsar at the top.one thing you should consider is the spread if you have not already brought as this can be 20% on a bad day wait for the spread to narrow.cheers woodie.

with having new contracts in the pipeline can we see 1 or 2p in the next 12 months?

how do you know there are contracts in pipe line last? you need to take one step at a time .080 has been a big problem this year if it can go over this and stay there then looks good for your targets.

i also holding this share and i hope 1p and 2p will come soon.

my mistake read news wrong meant if pilot testing is all ok then this will good for the company

can anyonw know why it rise a lot and so many buyer now....

dont know reason for rise,but if you are looking to sell rise is only.05 which is only a 12.5% GAIN NOT 20%AS AT MID PRICE

The reason for the rise is the article in the times yesterday, link attached.

Counselling by computer to fight depression
By Sam Lister
Hi-tech treatment is intended to ease demand on the NHS



MILLIONS of people suffering from depression, one of the biggest burdens on the NHS, will soon be able to get counselling by computer with the expansion of a revolutionary programme for GPs surgeries.
After trials on the interactive programme, which counsels users to help them to overcome depressive tendencies, an NHS trust in Wiltshire will become the first to introduce it in all primary care services.



Such is the demand for treatment for depression a condition that affects an estimated six million Britons that the therapy is to be recommended to primary care trusts nationwide in clinical guidelines published this year.

Of the 1.3 million suffering severe depression, only 10 per cent are thought to receive adequate therapy because of a reluctance to seek help and pressure on NHS resources, with patients waiting up to a year to see a counsellor.

Unlike conventional depression treatment, based on consultations with doctors and psychotherapists and regimented courses of medication, the computer counselling, called Beating the Blues, requires a single guidance session, dramatically reducing costs and pressure on staff.

Random trials have shown that the treatment which uses cognitive behaviour the- rapy (CBT) to alter outlook and mood to be as effective as, and greatly enhance, other clinical treatments. For many patients, particularly those who fear confrontation with a clinician, it has been found to be a far quicker cure.

While private surgeries and individual GPs have tested the scheme over the past year, Swindon Primary Care Trust last week became the first trust in Britain to buy licences for Beating the Blues for all 30 of its practices, at a cost of 50,000.

Take-up by other primary care trusts, which treat 95 per cent of mental health problems, is expected to rise after the publication of depression guidelines by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE), due in November.

Sir David Goldberg, the reports lead author and a strong advocate of such forms of therapy, has described the programme as one of the most important advances in the treatment of anxious depression in the last 50 years.

The economic burden of depression has risen sharply in recent years. It costs the NHS more than 1 billion a year and accounts for a further 6 billion of lost productivity while GP consultations for depression have more than doubled in the last ten years.

The new programme, which was developed at the Institute of Psychiatry in London in conjunction with Ultrasis, an IT healthcare company, works by taking sufferers through systematic steps to help them to think differently about everyday situations that trigger anxiety from running late in a traffic jam to being stood up in a bar.

Different character case studies the middle-class housewife, the elderly widow, the single parent also offer alternative insights and emotional responses, helping to illustrate, and ultimately to teach how to control, the links between negative feelings and thoughts.

For Peter Crouch, a GP at Taw Hill Medical Practice, a flagship surgery in Swindon, the arrival of the Beating the Blues course has increased capacity more than five-fold since it was introduced last year.

From August, patients served by the primary care trust will be able to attend the course of eight one-hour sessions at any time, rather than the once-weekly psychother- apy sessions now offered by surgeries. This programme has been identified as an incredibly effective way of rolling out a vital service to everyone who wants it, said Dr Crouch, an adviser to the primary care trust.

It is a programme that helps patients realise the capa- city to help themselves. Traditional forms of counselling have often fostered a dependency on the service among patients, but they should leave this feeling a crucial sense of self-control. For doctors at the Priory, the private health clinic famed for its celebrity clientele, the programmes value has been evident since its introduction nine months ago.

According to Paul McLaren, medical director of the Priory's clinic in Ticehurst, Kent, its 400 course of computerised cognitive therapy has proved an excellent complement to anti-depressant drugs and face-to-face counselling. We were very interested in looking at new ways of delivering mental health care at a cost people could afford, he said.

We wanted to be able to give people choice, and in the public sector the options to date have been very limited. Dr McLaren said that South London and Maudsley NHS Trust, where he also works as a consultant psychiatrist, planned to bring in the programme before the end of the year. Most of the NHS service is currently overwhelmed, he said.

Recent research into depression treatment found that 80 per cent of family doctors felt that they prescribed too many anti-depressants, a trend forced on them by the lack of appropriate psychological therapies or social care on the NHS. A quarter of all GPs surveyed this month rated wider access to depression treatment as one of the health services most pressing priorities.

HAUNTED BY THE BLACK DOG

An estimated 1.3 million Britons suffer from severe depression, yet only 10 per cent receive adequate therapy. A further five million people are categorised as suffering from milder conditions of mixed depression and anxiety

Depression refers to a wide range of mental health problems characterised by the loss of interest and enjoyment in ordinary things and experiences, low moods and a range of associated emotional, physical and behavioural symptoms

As the most common psychiatric disorder, depression is ranked as the fourth biggest burden on healthcare by the World Health Organisation. It is expected to worsen over the next 20 years

One in four UK women and one in ten men are likely to suffer depression serious enough to require treatment


GP consultations for depression jumped from four million to more than nine million between 1994 and 1998

thanks b shame the selling is heavey then buying looks like punters wont to see revenues coming to the company also why no word from company if last week a deal was done.

Woodie,
this is a very speculative 'buy' never trust what you read trade-wise. my buys came up as sells on this one, this is not unusual especially when trades are around the middle of the spread. Where there's a buy there's a sell. activity is important and it's what we're acting upon that steers the price. (Sometimes). For me this one is worth a punt over the longterm, buy now and forget it, however it's not one i'd put my life savings on. DYOR as the saying goes. Good hunting. DM

David, I agree, the vast majority of transactions today were buys.

According to posters on AD^FN the interims will be out tomorrow or Thursday and will mention the contract win. Expect a bit more movement still to come this week.

might be wrong but interims are issued in july by company

just spoke to mike fd at company confirms results due friday or tormorrow would not give reason why they are being released 3 months early hopefully postive statement.

Woodie, it's the interim results for the first six months of the ULT's finacial year that runs August to July.

the 2 halfyear dates are jan and july the last 3 years the results to the end of jan have been issued the last day it can before the stock exchange suspends the shares these have been issued in july the results for july are issued in dec with agm in jan or feb.as these are being issued 3 months in front of last year you make your own mind up if there is good news with the results.cheers woodie

Last years interims were on the 1st May and 2002's were on 30th April so they are only a little earlier. Anyway hope they bring good news. Cheers. B

What happened to their goldfish thing that cured stomache ulcers I think ???

b sorry mate could have had my mortage on july last year,not so cofindent that these will postive as contract already leaked.heres hoping cheers woodie

wake up shareholders results out today revenues show year on year increase.

unfortuantley not keep rising

can somebody enlighten me please, I would buy these but has the turnover really increased, has that 600k licence taken other revenue away? in my head it looks like if they hadn't sold that licence, their revenue would have decreased, somebody tell me i'm wrong before the price goes up, thanks

no you are not wrong the payment has been received so increase in turnover other licence deals will come to the balance sheet this year ie the swindon health care trust which was 50000 pound stated in times newspaper. cheers woodie

thanks woodie for such a prompt response, I'm gonna put a limit on of .5 and get a grands worth, then not look at it again until april 2005 (yeah right!)

before i put my last post on this site purchased 250000 shares at 0.048,the spread was to good to miss as it stood at 10% against 30% a few days ago a few months ago cant remember who it was wanted to buy these at 30% spread advise at that time wait tell spread in your favour never be sucked in unless it is in your favour.cheers woodie

Ultrasis is well worth a look this weekend.

Excellent interims announced yesterday that resulted in 40 million shares being bought including several large T (protected trades) going through at the end of the day. It was the highest volume AIM share of the day and 14th in the overall volume leaderboard.

Ultrasis has been mentioned in the Mail and FT this morning so the momentum is likely to continue next week. The capitalisation of the company is under 4m so there is huge potential.

The MMs managed to soak up all the buys(!) and the price is still at Fridays opening - mid price 0.475p. Its likely that further buying will result in a significant rise (IMO) as happened in early February (+65%) on a similar volume. The spread is currently very tight (0.45 / 0.5), and at close you could get quotes for 0.47 to sell and 0.49 to buy. However Merrill Lynch was keeping the buy price down well below the other MMs (there are only 3 MMs trading this share) so this probably won't last.

Some risk involved (as with all small caps) so please DYOR - but potential high rewards too!

Hey

does anyone have the DAILY MAIL Article ??? Please post it if you do...cheers.

dont bank on sharp rise the reason mms could soak up the buying was offload by marshalls the company broker who have stock from the rights issue when no wanted to know in the bear market.the stock is not a aim company but listed under ftse fledging.hope iam wrong about share price?hours time we will see.

A further 60m trades today. Thats an 8th of the company exchanging hands in 2 days. Big K trade went through toward the end and the general concensus is that it is a buy. Tomorrow should be very interesting

b, was not a buy k stands for block trade,21million shares offloaded to mms lets hope buying does not dry up otherwise gains over last 2 trading days will go.what is needed is shares or ic to recommend share to bring in new investors.cheers woodie ps what happended to paper article invisage asked for on 17th?

LONDON (AFX) - Ultrasis PLC, the London based interactive health care company said it has entered into a therapy programme with the UK's leading mental health Workforce Development Confederation (WDC), the Nottingham based NHS Trent WDC.

NHS Trent WDC has commenced a pilot project for the use of Beating the Blues, a computerised cognitive behavioural therapy programme for anxiety and depression, in collaboration with the government backed Graduate Primary Care Mental Health Worker scheme.

The agreement between NHS Trent WDC and Ultrasis is to provide thirty-three Beating the Blues systems for Graduate Mental Health Workers in the North West region.

Ultrasis will also provide non-clinical Beating the Blues licenses to each of the nominated training establishments as reference tools for the students.

Welcome aboard pardner! These shares are rising again today - don't know why - but what the h, it's fun! Remember - Shares can go up as well as down!

good news coming soon?

Following two recent news announcements, it's beginning to look like after an extended period of restructuring and cost-cutting, the corner might have been turned for ULT.

ULT has seen decent success in selling it's products in the US. The US health market is now said to be showing signs of emergence from its period of consolidation and change but cost pressures on the US health system remain as a key feature. Nevertheless, ULT has increased its service to Managed Health Network Inc (MHN) and extended the contract through to August 2007 and The Relief Series is now available to more than four million people in the US. "Beating the Blues" has seen its first US success, being successfully used at Emory University Hospital, Atlanta and as a provider in Louisiana. Most recently, in January 2005, Value Options, a US company with 23 million members, announced that they too will license Beating the Blues:



In the UK and possibly further afield, ULT's markets look set to improve markedly over the next 2-3 years. First, two papers on "Beating the Blues"' clinical and cost effectiveness published in the British Journal of Psychiatry have stimulated world wide interest in "Beating the Blues".

Second, in Nov 2004, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) published new stress management standards targeting over 33,500 companies in the UK with more than 50 employees. The first to feel the impact have been local authorities, who are recognised as having the biggest problem with sickness absence due to stress related problems. The HSE advocates a three stage approach to cutting down stress related absences, which are estimated to result in 13 million working days lost per year. The first stage is establishing if there are problems and where they occur, the second then provides support for staff, with the third and final stage geared to helping those who have developed clinical problems - such as anxiety or depression - get back to work. To meet the audit needs of the first stage in the process, ULT has released Calm Workplace - Work Related Stress Audit (WRSA) which provides employers of all types and sizes with an internet-based easy to implement and cost effective way to help meet the new HSE stress management standard. Calm Workplace - WRSA completes the suite of tools developed by Ultrasis to meet the three pronged approach.

Separately, ULT has recently announced that Kent County Council has placed an order for the provision of Ultrasis' interactive online support programme. This will go live in April and indicates the start of commitment from UK employers and the huge Public Service market in particular.

Following this news, an informative assessment was released on the deal and the company. To read it, click Comment on Kent CC License.

Furthermore, ULT has presented the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) with new evidence of the efficacy of "Beating the Blues". That evidence is currently under review and their revised report on the use of Computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CCBT) within the NHS is expected in Summer 2005. Chances are that it will be favourable based on the increasing knowledge and acceptance of computerised therapies among NHS purchasers prompted by new guidelines for the treatment of depression from NICE. Some related links:

Full NICE Guidance.

NICE Review Timetable.

Latest NICE Guidelines for Depression (Feb 05) Recommending That CCBT Can Be Considered For Mild Depression.

Beating the Blues has now been purchased in multi-license form by two Primary Care Trusts namely; Swindon and West Sussex as well as two substantial pilot projects in the North West and East Midland regions where the new Primary Care Graduate Mental Health Workers will be providing "Beating the Blues" as a service to the regions. To read an article on Beating The Blues in use in Swindon and the North West click Beating The Blues in Swindon and the North West. ULT's first NHS implementation of the Relief Series as a pilot in St Helens has attracted a lot of attention including a visit by the Health Minister Rosie Winterton. The pilot is named "Oh What a Relief" and is now set to continue for a further year. For the website and details click Oh What A Relief. If you happen to live or work in the Borough of St Helens, maybe you could register and provide some feedback.

ULT's stated strategy is to focus on professional and corporate markets both in the
UK and the US. It believes that other territories should also begin to open up and that the need for its products is clearly demonstrated by its results and will continue to grow.

On a note of caution for investors, to fund this growth, and to provide additional working capital, the directors have said that they are currently considering various strategies for raising additional finance.

ULT says it has now reached a position where its overheads are controlled. The
Board remains confident that there is a vibrant market for the company's products.

sam who issued this piece,nice one.cheers woodie

seems good news.

I hope they don't release yet more shares - there are a billion knocking around already!

Hmmm, I'm not sure this is generally known but in an area related CCBT, ULT may be using computer-based procedures to target the epilepsy market one day, judging by this patent application published in Jan 2004:

http://www.patent.gov.uk/patent/notices/journals/2004/5984.pdf (Page 48)

It may take some time to load so here's what it says:

"Ultrasis UK Limited Apparatus and systems for the treatment of epilepsy
Date Lodged: 19 Dec 2003 GB0329518.5"

Quite technical, but this paper gives an insight into the patent apparently using a computer generated graphics procedure known as biofeedback:

http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/~hugo/yokocnvbehav.pdf

In particular, Page 3:

"2.4. GSR recording

The measurement of GSR and the implementation of biofeedback sessions (BF relax and BF arousal exercises) were undertaken using a biofeedback system (the Inner Tuner: Professional, Ultrasis Plc., London, UK) that had been modified for experimental use. Dry nickel-plated electrodes were placed on the palmar surface of the subjects index and middle finger of their left hand. The area of an electrode was approximately 1 cm2. Skin resistance was measured conventionally between the two electrodes enabling detection of changes in GSR, prompted by thought, emotion or physical tension. A calibration curve for this machine was calculated using standard resistances so that the calibration ensured that the machines response was linear. Biofeedback took the form of computer-generated graphics, presented visually on a computer monitor. Changes in the subjects skin resistance (GSR) resulted in movement through a series of animations which progressed in a positive direction starting with a picture of a jellyfish, then crocodile, dinosaur, ape and man when the subjects GSR changed in the intended direction. Thus, in the BF relax session, the subject watched the evolution of the graphics as GSR sympathetic arousal decreased. The direction of the graphic change was the same for BF arousal except that increasing arousal lead to progression through the pictures."

And here's some background to the origin of the patent:

http://thomsoncurrentdrugs.com/cdmedia/gazettenews/2004/CPG_News_0405.pdf

"Ultrasis plc, now claiming apparatus and systems for treating epilepsy, specializes in computerized, drug-free solutions enabling people to manage their well-being interactively. This is achieved using a combination of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), biofeedback and multimedia. This is said to be based on patented technology, but virtually nothing in the published patent literature directly supports the assertion. However, a lone South African application claiming a 1999 Israeli priority serves to link Ultrasis with Ultramind Int Ltd and one of its non-executive directors, Tuvi Orbach. Patenting from Ultramind covers mainly therapy of cardiac and CNS conditions, and our DOLPHIN database serve to link it with a company called Sentitech Ltd."

Significant future development potential I would have thought!

A lot of buyers coming in thick and fast:-D

Tick up on the card soon.

nice post sam now at 70 lets hope it can stay there and rise as this is the third time of trying.cheers woodie

I am here WOODIE to see ULT in double figuers, hopefully soon.

Regards

Sam

Another ticker coming up, another step closer to
the "GOLDEN CROSS".

Double figures - you mean 1.1 or something?

No, I mean Double figures >10p

That really would be something!

Morning all

http://www.ultrasis.com/

morning sam not much selling about

No, WOODIE, NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

We might end the day in Blue.

Feeling really good about this now, really good!

LONDON (AFX) - Ultrasis PLC said it has won an order with Birmingham City Council to make the Ultrasis stress management tool available to all 55,000 council employees.

Ultrasis' Calm Workplace - Work Related Stress Audit (WRSA) - will be taken up by Birmingham City Council as part of a groundbreaking initiative to help them reduce the incidence and effects of work related stress across its operations, it said.

as per my post 84 where i said news coming soon,bush you should fell good news not over mors to come in next 2 months.cheers woodie

Like I said before, Iam here to see ULT in double figuers:-D

Well done to all holders and the reward is very very very HUGE soon.

Personally I cannot understand why anybody would be selling now. This clearly has got the attention of the UK(and prob Ireland) CC's and Govt institutions, plus HSE backing for industry sales plus a range of products plus new products and countries. Could be a global product within a few years...basically only has to be translated and launched with key health authorities/departments in major countries. If we are getting close to 1p with two CC's and a few trials plus US sales (limited so far compared with size of market), then what price when 30 CC's have it and a fair few of the 30,000 or so companies in UK? 10p might not be that far away!! (If the CC domino effect takes place then we could have UK national coverage within 6 months, and this would certainly make other countries sit up and take notice!!)

Do you see my point WOODIE.
Double figuers on the card.

sam to get to 10p co must show profit it wiil not be in the next set of results also there is a chance of more shares being issued to raise funds for co to tap other markets other then uk and usa.

I can see 2-3p medium term - but I can't see 10p - not with the huge number of shares in issue - perhaps I need to clean my glasses but....hmm. I would love it to happen but they have to cross alot of rivers and kiss a lot of corporate frogs to get there!

Issuing shares is not easy for a co like this - because the price is so low and the shares so numerous. A longer and possibly better long term route would be to consolidate the shares into 300M instead of 900M and then make an offer at the same time - get some institutions involved - where is the rush?

nice up tick again today,poverty from a shareholder point of view the number of shares in issue is irrelevent it is the value of company if shares are reduced 1 for 10 the share price does not move your shareholder value will be worth the same.cheers woodie

And... by the way... 1P per share here we come! (with any other share that would be a disasterous price! - but for ULT its fabby!

ULT looks promising. Glad to see you doing better out of this and seo than yoo know who, Poverty.

Very promising. In fact I bought 5 years ago cos I could see the possibilities! Clever, eh? And I still hold. Now let me see, I paid, err... 60p. Doh!

Thanks Iturama! - not a miyonaire just yet though!

Maggot - were these shares really 60p!!! - What happened?

maggot it might not have been clever to buy at 60p if you learned your mistake in holding on this long, then it will be worthwhile in the long run,learn by your mistakes.the positive side in buying these shares you spotted the fact that the co has a good product it was not your fault sales were slow over the last few years.cheers woodie

Hi, I got back in on Friday I think I had a moment selling if you know what I mean, in for the long run this time might even add on the way up or down.

('Ultrasis' or 'the Company')



NICE RECOMMENDATION FOR 'BEATING THE BLUES'

Beating the Blues, the flagship product of leading UK based interactive
healthcare company, Ultrasis plc, has been recommended for use as a proven, cost
effective option for treatment of mild and moderate depression in an Appraisal
Consultation Document produced by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence
(NICE).

The Consultation Document released this week, is the first published outcome of
the NICE commission from The Department of Health and the National Assembly for
Wales, to review its 2002 appraisal of Computerised Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
(CCBT) for the treatment of depression and anxiety. CCBT is a generic term that
is used to refer to a number of methods of delivering Cognitive Behaviour
Therapy (CBT) via an interactive computer interface as an alternative to
traditional face to face therapy.

The findings presented in the Consultation Document are based on evidence
submitted by Ultrasis and other companies, as well as views put forward by
professional and patient/carer organisations. The document outlines the
Appraisal Committee's preliminary recommendations for CCBT in the management of
depression and anxiety in primary and secondary care. The interim appraisal has
been prepared for consultation with the formal consultees, with the final
publication and recommendation to the NHS due for publication in July this year.

Beating the Blues is a CCBT based package designed by Ultrasis for patients with
anxiety and/or depression. It consists of a 15 minute introductory video and
eight 1-hour interactive computer sessions. The sessions usually take place at
weekly intervals and are completed in the routine care setting of a GP or other
primary health care setting.

Although two alternative products are mentioned, Beating the Blues, is the only
depression treatment included in the consultation supported by published
randomised controlled trials evidence, suggesting that Beating the Blues is more
effective than treatment as usual (TAU) in general practice.

Additionally, Beating the Blues is also the only CCBT package with published
evidence of improved cost-effectiveness compared to TAU. Further comparative
analysis of cost-effectiveness, reported in the Appraisal Consultation Document,
shows that Beating the Blues is by far the most cost-effective of the competing
products.

The consultation document presents proposals for the CCBT implementation and
audit based on the preliminary recommendations and states that NHS organisations
offering treatment for people with depression and anxiety and General
Practitioners should review their current practice and policies to take into
account the guidance. The report suggests that all people seen with mild or
moderate depression should be offered CCBT treatment.

Commenting on the Appraisal Consultation Document, Ultrasis plc CEO Graham Lewis
said, 'Whilst we recognise that the recommendations are preliminary and may
change after consultation, we welcome the very positive statements made by NICE
both on the validity of Computerised Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CCBT) as a
form of treatment for depression and anxiety and the success of Beating the
Blues in published randomised controlled trials'.

as per my post 103 good news out today dont sell,more good news still to come cheers woodie

I am watching for the succesful breakout and hold above 1 whole penny per share! Be great if the market really starts to get behind this stock.

I got back in just in time by the looks of it well done Woodie for your consistency.

Well done. I expect this share go up and down a bit - huge numbers of shares traded. However the general longer term story has to be an upward moving chart I reckon. Once they get above 1p then you get the .12 and .25 rises going on. Fingers crossed. Happy Easter ULTraEgoists!

Poverty
Nice one "ULTraEgoists"

I have been reading your posts on the board and dipped my toes into the water on the 28th Feb at .075 a share.To be honest with you after i bought them the price dipped for a short while and i thought i had made a mistake.Now though i am quietly confident that we will see some steady growth in share value in the next few months.I must also congratulate Woodie for his belief in this share ,long may it continue and lets hope we jump the penny barrier tomorrow.

This is the link for the Appraisal Consultation Document it makes interesting read.

I dont know about going through the .01p I see it heading towards .02p and beyond, all the news from ULT is positive they have greatly reduced there losses, contracts are being signed with more to come, and now this latest rns all positive. There are day traders working this stock they are short sighted you should buy on there dips, I for one will be adding first thing.

1.10p now....

I topped up first thing, but you can't hang about doing it.

Goodness me! blasting through 1p! Where next! Nice to see our faith rewarded so soon.

Good call driver,its shooting up quicker than i expected.
DB66

ftse down who cares for holders of this stock if they brought below 1p.thanks to driver & doughboy for comments.there should be profit taking soon as the price is overbrought at the moment see my previous post re profits, co now valued at 8 million on sales of 1 to 1.5 million if you buy at this level you are hoping for strong revenue growth over the next year also there is a good chance when the results come out at the end of april there will be a placing or rights issue.cheers woodie

WOODIE
I agree thats how this stock was going in the past but with the latest announcement of the Appraisal Consultation there is bound to be more deals done, that is why it is heading north, definitely a multi bagger from here.

driver there is more deals to come but revenues dont kick in straight away time to install software etc takes time for co to get revenues.cheers woodie

WOODIE
Makes no odds as soon as a deal is a announced the share goes up it was the same with Trafficmaster they kept announcing deals the share was a 10 bagger.

A strong rise so far on a very miserable day for my portfolio,long may it continue.I take your point Woodie, its always best to dump before the markets dumps on you.
db66

driver there is only so much a share will rise before it tops out,with regard to trafficmaster deals over the last 6 months share price is stuck in a trading range no new 52 week highs have been set for trafficmaster for a few months.cheers woodie

Woodie, do you have a target for this share this year, I'm thinking 2p, but it's more on sentiment than fundamentals.

The market is waking up to these shares - plus the rampers and day traders are having a punt - this week will see most of the rise I think. Longer term these shares are due some re-rating - I reckon 2-3p IMNVHO

bush poverty at the moment i have no set target iam waiting untile the nice report has been issued in july the peak should after this until revenues hit the bottom line.between now and then i also expect more shares to be issued via placing or rights issue.cheers woodie

WOODIE
As regard to Trafficmaster, sorry I should have mentioned I was referring to this stock when I was in a couple of years back they were announcing deals every two months or so the shares went from 7p to 110p. The contracts that they were sighing wasn't even that good but like I said it didn't make any odds the deals kept coming and the shares kept going up. If we had one small deal announced today this share would go strait through the 2p and beyond.

heres hoping, only trouble when trafficmaster hit 7p no one wanted the stock it was at the end of the bear market even without them deals, the stock would have stiil have gone higher not by as much as when it peaked,the same with ult no one wanted to know when you could buy the stock at 0.18 when the markats turned the price went to 0.50 even without contracts.cheers woodie

WOODIE
We beg to differ, heres to ULT.

driver lets enjoy the ride while it lasts.cheers woodie

thanks Woodie, if it gets to 3p before July i think i'll probably sell

bush no problems,just what share price needed some profit taking lets not forget if the share price reaches 1.80 that will be 1000% rise from the lows.cheers woodie

WOODIE
I agree it needed a bit of a shake out onward and upwards at a slower pace would be very "NICE".

All it needs is a gentle stream of moderate news and this will see its gentle onward climb and rehabilitation. It would take an unheard of (and highly improbable) rise to go to 1.80 for a 1,000% gain. Lets look at 2p first shall we...

WOODIE
You should forget the old stuff and 1,000% gain we have a new product deals being done and the NICE recommendation this is a multi bagger from here.

poverty for sorry i forgot to put a p after 1.80 it is not 1.80 for a 1000% gain but 1.80p just under 2p,driver it makes no difference what the gain is as long as co is growing and share price keeps moving north the % gain depends on each person and there time period some will be short term some long,from here i will be long term as long as the above keep happening.cheers woodie.

I nicked this from (overgrowth) on a different share I'm sure he wont mind the same applies to ULT.
A temporary bit of profit taking, whenever a share rises relatively quickly over a short period of time the folks who adhere to "you never go broke taking a profit" and the "buy rumour, sell results" principles take their profits . Then what follows is massive buying support from the crowd (who really make the big money) who follow the "let your winners run" and "add to winning positions" principles.

driver it is good for long term holders that profit is taking place,this will keep the amount of money down you will need to find if rights issue takes place .cheers woodie

Rights Issue - you don't need to find money for a rights issue if you don't want to. There is no RI planned anyway.

poverty it is almost certain that fund raising of some sort will take place,you are right you do not have to find money if you dont want to.only trouble if you dont your existing holding will be dilueted.cheers woodie

nice bounce of the lows so far today strong buying being seen at the moment.cheers woodie

Not a bad day considering good support brought it back Nicely.

market taken fundraising well now it is out in the open could be up tp 5% of shares issued.move to aim is also on the cards some time this year, also when new money has been raised an acquisition is on the cards things looking good.cheers woodie

WOODIE
Why Aim my ult are in mt isa and I hope they will stay there.

driver its cheaper and cost less on aim to raise money also there are tax benefits for shareholders .cheers woodie

2* 1 million trades just gone through.

over 5 mill buys to 500k shares sold this indicates another raise in the share price.

Sorry WOODIE, dont agree 4,616,598 buys to 2,490,764 sells the 2x1 million trades were sells thats what brought the price down.

sorry john dont agree they were sells price of 1.27 2 ticks from buy price 4 ticks from sell price all other sells within this range were 1.24 on less vol. cheers woodie

Both trades were timed at 9:36 and 9:49 when the bid was 1.27 offer 1.30.

john50 sorry agree both sells i did not look at times of both trades.

No problem WOODIE,that was a 1 million buy at 10:49 at 1.30.

Someone is offloading, big time.

Let em go I say... I want to get some more of these shares soon!

share price overdone buys and sells even ,results could be issued next week have to be issued by 30 april. cheers michael

What are you expecting from the results Woodie?
DB66

the results will be around breakeven as this will be upto end of jan it will be the outlook that should be of interest ie update on nice etc

That's it topped up for the last time, now sit back and wait.

Check out eureka mining thread 10x by christmas!

I don't think that the average ult investor or the ones that have sold recently relies the good news that the last rns brought to us, ult product has been recommended by NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) The company with this under its belt will be doing more deals with councils and any one else that wants to purchase Beating The Blues. I am sure that we will be hearing a string of announcements in the near future. It's not a share you want to be out of.

driver it will be a long process for money to reach bottom line. a lot of shareholders do not want to keep shares for a 2-3 years . cheers woodie

WOODIE
Announcements can come at any time even today that's what moves the sp north, this company have rapidly reduced there loses in the last couple of years and it looks like they could be going into profit in the near future rather than years.

The shares being moved im in with a grand :-)

driver there may be small profit or breakeven this year the results out by end of april make your own mind up then, announcements can also make share price fall?

sharewinners
Well done stick with it.
WOODIE
I'm not having a go but some time's you are very positive and then negative is this because you are in and out of this share, if there is any profit at all in the next results this share will be heading north, and thats not a ramp.

driver iam a long term holder ie 3-5 years when this share will be well in front from current levels the reason for change is share price reaction to news i have sold some shares hoping it will fall back below what i sold for.news will come via results waiting for date will post when i have news then at start of may the agm for more shares to be issued.cheers woodie

I just rec'd my proxy form for the AGM - I will let them vote with my .000000001% of stock as they wish. I trust the directors to act well.

Woodie no-one gives a monkey's about making a profit or actually showing a profit it is the expectation that the market acts on - unless they are taken by surprise by the results. I can't really work out if you are a fan of these shares or not!?

Poverty
I think you scared our WOODIE off.

Another announcement would be very NICE dare I suggest we are due for one.

Any idea when the interims are?

driver iam back no reason to be scared off, went away for the weekend down on south coast. the interims have to be issued by 30 april otherwise co will get fined still waiting to hear the date of results, will post date when known .cheers woodie

WOODIE -
Welcome back hope you had a nice time.

driver thanks nice time was had near the new forest came back monday afternoon to portfolio getting spanked hope we dont see to many more days like that .cheers woodie ps still cant get date for results .

WOODIE
I have been looking again at their past results and they really have been reducing there loses at each stage, they could break even this time, and with a positive statement added we will see the sp on the rise again. My portfolio has just about recovered from the past few days.

Hi Guys,

Fingers crossed! Their report and accounts is very optimistic - and with good basis I reckon

when the result come out?

Some big big buys - something in the air!!! Any one any ideas?

pension271
Just hoping for good results like the rest of us, that is due soon.
See my other post 186.

Thanks driver - just before the market closed I ventured and added a chunk at 1.01. Now await good news!!

pension271
Good for you 271 Welcome aboard.

I see a six figure stock booked for sale at 1.28 I wonder if this holder has some news we don't know of. I do remember not long ago sales at 1.29?? Anyone any comment?

pension271 - i didn't know this was a SETS stock?

Hi mjr - my broker mentioned ? he must have access to the info. As i bought some yesterday and was catching up with news this morning it was mentioned. 1.29 sales went through around 6.4.05.

results out no new contracts issued with rns cheers woodie

I think it's only a matter of time before we see some new orders.

This from the Chairman and Chief Executive
The most significant long term market development is the preliminary
announcement from the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) - the NHS
body that reports on the efficacy of innovative therapy - that Beating the Blues
be recommended for use in the treatment of depression and anxiety. This, coupled
with the NICE guidelines issued in the autumn, that anti-depressant
pharmaceuticals should not be prescribed as a first resort for people presenting
with mild to moderate depression, allows Ultrasis to make a strong case within
the NHS for widespread adoption of Beating the Blues.

driver now you know why i was bearish for the short term. the results for the full year wont show much headway from here . looks like a down day for the stock hope iam wrong . cheers woodie

Trades shown so far today are all small trades, has no relevance. Big boys still in. Over exaggeration.

What goes up.... Bit naughty to release the news at the end of the day! Tut tut - poor results which is why the price is being hammered right now. However - I am still a believer, I don't think people were holding for the results at all - it is the NICE stuff and new contracts that the market likes - I think there will be some soon - and we will be off again.

buyers coming back in now.

buy time again,last opportunity

ULTRASIS Action Type: Proposed Description: Subject to approval at meetings to be held on 4th May 2004, the company will cancel the listing of its securities on the Official List and apply for the admission of its securities to trading on AIM.

As shares listed on AIM are not eligible to be held within a PEP or ISA account, following the transfer we will write to such clients regarding alternative arrangements for holding the shares.

above posted as corporate action -

would above affect the price in anyway - ??any one please enlighten. Thanks

pension it all depends on how many have holding in pep and if they all come onto market at same time, i wrote to jeremy lacey 2-3 weeks ago asking for a article to be in shares mag on the pros and cons of a co going from full listing to aim i have had no reply so far. cheers woodie

WOODIE
I am out at the moment, going from full listing to aim confirmed one of your earlier posts regarding this move, also the raising of additional funding for acquisitions for what purpose the extra dilution of shares is what you predicted and it's now in the rns, I will be watching from the side lines and may get back in.
Thanks WOODIE for your advice on this stock.

Here is an extract. The only thing that is lacking in the report is that there have not been any new contracts but they will be coming.

"Chief executive Graham Lewis said business has continued to develop steadily for the first six months. Cost management has been stringent and the group said order input for the first 3 months of 2005 has again been positive.

However, he said the impact of this is not reflected in the results to end-Jan 2005."

grandadg90
As I said I may get back in on this, any new deal will see the sp heading north again.

Thanks Woodie for your post 204.

Grandad - I too am a holder - added big chunks Wed and Thurs to my previous holding. Now we wait and see. Meanwhile looks like two "chapatis" instead of three for a while !! Just joking - though will help the waist line!! I am not complaining SBT have been good to me last few days and that more than compansated the loss here.
cheers folks - nice weekend p/271

driver thanks for comment the sp is holding up well,driver when the terms of the fundraising is out in the open and we know the terms of rights issue it might be time to move back in or increase holdings. the results for the full year wont show much headway from here cheers woodie

rns release may 23 date of move to aim.

New Appointment Announcement

ULTRASIS APPOINTS NEW UK DIRECTOR OF SALES
Interactive healthcare specialists, Ultrasis plc, have appointed a new UK
Director of Sales in order to harvest increasing market potential. Assuming his
new position as of 1st of May, John Smith will develop the market for the
company's range of computer based products, both amongst Primary Care Trusts
keen to use effective drug-free alternatives in the treatment of depression, as
well as employers who in line with current legislation wish to take proactive
steps to reduce stress in the workplace.

Graham Lewis, Chief Executive of Ultrasis commented; 'Mental health including
stress-related illness is now widely acknowledged as the number one cause of
workplace absenteeism, a fact underlined by the Health and Safety Executive's
move in November 2004 to issue new guidelines to employers on this issue.
Combined, these factors mean that the market for our products is growing
rapidly. John's appointment will give us increased capacity to actively ensure
Ultrasis take full advantage of this market opportunity.'

John, who was previously an Executive Director of a national charity, Mental
Health Matters, has extensive experience within the NHS, most recently as
Director of Innovation and Redesign for the 5 Boroughs Partnership NHS Trust
providing specialist mental health services to the people of Warrington, St
Helens, Knowsley, Wigan and Halton. One of his key achievements during this time
was the introduction of Ultrasis Relief Series to the population of St Helens as
a treatment for depression and anxiety and was very impressed with the results.

'Having witnessed very favourable experiences from the customer perspective, I
truly believe in the Ultrasis product range and am delighted to have the
opportunity to develop it on a national scale,' John commented. 'I feel there is
huge scope for these drug-free treatments for stress, anxiety and depression
which are not only proven and cost-effective to implement but are also wanted by
the people who experience the effects of mental ill-health.'

Graham added; 'I see John's appointment as a very positive move for Ultrasis.
His background in the field of mental health, network contacts and direct
experience of our product's effectiveness will be great assets in developing
Ultrasis' continued growth. We believe our products are the best on the market,
and now recommended by NICE for use in the NHS, we are very pleased that John
has joined forces with us.'

CALL FOR PARTIES TO PUT WORK RELATED STRESS ON THE POLITICAL AGENDA

With stress now officially the number one cause of absenteeism costing the economy an estimated 3.7 billion a year a leading interactive healthcare specialist believes the issue should be placed higher up on the political agenda.

Absenteeism due to workplace stress is a growing problem for employers resulting in the loss of some 13 million working days each year, commented Graham Lewis, Chief Executive of interactive healthcare specialists, Ultrasis plc. This is bad news for the economy as well as a headache for employers, and were surprised that none of the major parties is making an issue of this, particularly as there are cost-effective steps which can be taken to tackle the problem.

Ultrasis have pioneered the development of a number of interactive packages, some using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques, which enable employers to identify the extent of stress and anxiety amongst staff and, where appropriate, take remedial action. As well as being highly effective and drug-free, the programmes have low set-up and operating costs, increasing their appeal to organisations who want to deal with the problem in a cost-effective way.

Last year the Health and Safety Executive introduced new stress management guidelines which all employers are now required to follow, which demonstrates that the government recognises the importance of the problem. Whilst the issue of stress related absenteeism is recognized by all three main parties, it is surprising that their respective policies are not being more openly debated, commented Graham Lewis.

He added, The scale of this growing problem would suggest that this is an issue which cant be ignored and merits higher priority on the agendasfor all parties. The benefits of a more proactive approach to tackling stress are all too obvious both for employers and the economy in general.

Foam treatment for varicose veins

More than a fifth of adults get varicose veins
Injecting patients with a foam that expands in the blood vessels can successfully treat troublesome varicose veins, say doctors.
Between 20% and 30% of adults develop varicose veins, usually later in life or during pregnancy.

As well as looking unpleasant, varicose veins can ache, throb and itch.

More than 50 patients at Ealing Hospital in London have received the foam therapy with good results, says consultant Mr George Geroulakos.

Fast foam

If they are small, varicose veins may be controlled with conservative methods, such as compression bandages or stockings.

But larger or more complicated varices cases will need surgery.

The early and interim results are really promising

Mr George Geroulakos

This can involve stripping the veins, tying them off or injecting an agent to close the vein, which is called sclerotherapy.

Sclerotherapy has some advantages over surgical stripping.

It can be done under local rather than general anaesthetic and leaves only one small scar in the groin rather than numerous scars on the leg.

"With the conventional stripping technique, the patient has to stay off work for about eight days after.

"With the foam therapy, they can go back within days," said Mr Geroulakos, who is also a consultant for the Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust.

Doctors have been using liquid sclerotherapy for years. But a newer way is to use a foam, guided with the help of ultrasound imaging.

Closing the vein

In contrast to liquid, foam is not diluted once injected, so less is needed and it remains in the vein for a longer time.

The foam works by pushing the blood out of the way and is able to make better contact with the inside of the vein walls.

All of these factors mean it could work better than liquid sclerotherapy, according to Mr Geroulakos.

"Sometimes the liquid can leak outside of the vein and this can cause a chemical sore or ulcer.

"We think complications should be less common with the foam.

"Plus you can see exactly where the foam is with ultrasound. It casts a shadow that can be seen with the machine. You can see every individual vein, which is a major advantage," he said.

Mr Geroulakos has been treating patients with the foam technique for two years. "The early and interim results are really promising, but we have not been doing it long enough to know about the long-term results," he said.

About a fifth of patients who have their varicose veins treated with stripping will need repeat treatment within five years because the problem comes back. But it is not yet clear whether the same is true with foam therapy.

A single injection of the foam is enough to treat a half metre length of vein.

Afterwards, the patient wears a compression stocking continuously for two weeks and then during the day only for another week.

ra

Topped up.

Good steady buying volume today.

Have been with this since early March - topped up as well in between . Normally with the news likes of yesterday it would shoot up like first week in April it was 1.29 - looks like at the moment markets are jittery and not many want to plunge.
p/271

Lots of sales today - any one has any news ???

Although all shown as sells, 0.65p and above are buys.

I am still in on theses although down at the moment, no problem they tend to take of when a juicy announcement is issued.

Have been in and out of these shares (by luck at the right times) but reckon once the pep/isa sellers are out of the way by 23/5 and the aim listing is a fait a compli that this share will be worth buying again as NICE announcement in July should be good news

robinhood
I agree, but the pep /isa sellers, do not have to sell just open a new account.

i know, but reckon that quite a few won't bother as the sp has not been performing very well and will just liquidate position.

I don't see a sound plan behind an online health product, but nevertheless, it does sound really cheap. Considering the fundamental behind the company, it is almost implying that it has no right to exist in the first place with very bad track records for any earnings at all for the past few years. I am very skeptical of putting my money in this (I got burnt on this a few years back when it jumped to 0.77p, at the peak I bought it, and nose dived down to 0.30p weeks later). I bet same happened this time, 1.2p then nose dived back down again. Perhaps, I should wait till it bottom up at roughly 0.33 - 0.40p then I would dive in again? Need a very very long strategy on this one.

slkhlaw
I understand your concerns, they are going to the Aim Market, and going to raise money, to be put to good use we hope, but with the new appointment of DIRECTOR OF SALES I am hoping that new orders will be flowing, I think punters should take a position and add on a price drop.

NICE RECOMMENDATION FOR 'BEATING THE BLUES'

Beating the Blues, the flagship product of leading UK based interactive
healthcare company, Ultrasis plc, has been recommended for use as a proven, cost
effective option for treatment of mild and moderate depression in an Appraisal
Consultation Document produced by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence
(NICE).

Ultrasis PLC
23 May 2005


Ultrasis PLC

PILOT COULD PAVE THE WAY FOR BEATING THE BLUES IN THE US

A trial providing a non-drug alternative treatment for patients with depression
in the United States could yield significant opportunities for Ultrasis plc. The
pilot project, which goes live in New York State next month, is particularly
significant as professionals providing the treatment will be piloting its
reimbursement through the US healthcare billing system.

In this model, patients at the SUNY Upstate Medical University at Syracuse in
New York State will be able to benefit from an effective treatment for anxiety
and depression called Beating the Blues, which is a Computerised Cognitive
Behaviour Therapy (CCBT) developed by London based interactive healthcare
specialist, Ultrasis.

CCBT is a generic term that is used to refer to a number of methods of
delivering Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) via an interactive computer
interface as an alternative to traditional face to face therapy.

Designed for people with no previous computer experience, Beating the Blues
offers a complete self-help therapy, presented in eight weekly modules of one
hour sessions taking place at a local mental health centre. The program uses
interactive modules, animation and voice-overs to engage and motivate the user.

Clinically shown to be effective in Randomised Controlled Trials, Beating the
Blues has recently been recommended in the UK as an effective treatment for mild
and moderate depression in an Appraisal Consultation Document by the National
Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE).

As John Hill, Vice President of Ultrasis Inc, the wholly owned US subsidiary of
the UK interactive healthcare plc explains, the trial in the US is particularly
significant as providers, for the first time, will investigate having the
associated costs covered by insurance carriers.
'To date, the major stumbling block in prescribing Beating the Blues in the US
has not been the effectiveness of the treatment itself, but rather its lack of a
unique billing code, which is a cornerstone of the US healthcare system.'

He added, 'In the SUNY Upstate Medical University project, each patient will be
seen during each session by a member of the team led by Dr Thomas Schwartz MD,
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry before and after each module in the Beating
the Blues programme. This will meet the requirement of face to face
consultations stipulated by insurance.'

Commenting at the beginning of this pilot programme, Ultrasis plc CEO Graham
Lewis said, 'This is a important step for Ultrasis in the US market, where
latest figures estimate that millions of people are suffering from anxiety,
stress and depression. With a clinically effective product, a growing acceptance
of the need to look at new, non-pharmaceutical ways of treating what is a major
social and economic problem, the remaining hurdle is one of funding.'

'If the project is successful, patients will be able to benefit from the
treatment safe in the knowledge that the associated costs will be funded just
like any other medical treatment. The roll out opportunities, in NY State and
beyond, could be significant and pave the way for growth in one of the world's
largest healthcare markets.'

In a related development, Ultrasis Inc has also announced today a partnership
with the Center for Evidenced-Based Community Psychiatry of The SUNY Upstate
Medical University. The partnership will allow for collaboration between an
academic medical center and a corporation to provide e-therapy solutions
nationally.

John Hill stated, 'This partnership will provide a respected research
institution access to proven e-therapy tools, while providing Ultrasis access to
grant funded research initially focusing on rural access to services.' In
addition to pursuing research, the partnership will explore other development
opportunities and sales opportunities in the government, academic and publicly
funded sectors.

Lewis said, 'This is a important step for Ultrasis in the US market,

news.news.news the market is growing tired of news,i think a 20/30%rise will trigger a huge wave of sells.this share is now a yoyo (buy today sell tomorrow
for a quick 20%,i will buy back at 0.45,and if i am wrong then goodby

Over 50M shares traded so far today - over 5% of issued capital. If history is anything to go by, this will continue to rise for the remainder of the week.

plm2349

I do under stand your point and that is what seems to happen, but I think long term the sp will brake out again through the 2p and onwards.

the interesting thing to me is the narrowing of the spread, making it much more attractive for short term trading. this might help keep it liquid for a while, and on the back of a good news article may make it a winner over the next couple of weeks.
alan

i first bought it in december 04 at 0.33 1250000 shares than i sold at 0.86
i bought back at 0.62 sold at 1.33 then i had some remorsed so i bought back
at 1.22 and sold at 1.10 i was sad not to make any profits on the last trade
but know i am glad i did,i took my 4 grand initial investmemt,and with the profits i bought 2 shares.

the bottom line is,me too i thought it will hit 2p+ soon but lets face it can they make a profit soon,news drive a share up,but only profits will keep it up
so far their product is a niche market,i do not think they have the skill to sell it and make a profit yet,it will need a lot of money they havent got,where will it come from??

so in the long term maybe but be carefull at what price you buy and do not be afraid to take a profit because for quite a while that will be the only way to make money

so far i made 14 grand with 4 grand in my isa taxe free
and i am still on the sideline.

Well done and well played.

NICE PRESCRIBES BEATING THE BLUES TO THE NHS

Beating the Blues, the flagship product of interactive healthcare specialists
Ultrasis, has been singled out in an authoritative Appraisal Consultation
Document, published today on the web site of the National Institute for Clinical
Excellence (NICE), as the only evidence-based Computerised Cognitive Behaviour
Therapy (CCBT) option for the treatment of mild and moderate depression. The
document strongly recommends that all patients with mild and moderate depression
are offered Beating the Blues.

With mental health issues such as anxiety and depression on the increase in
recent years, NICE was tasked by the Department of Health and the National
Assembly for Wales to conduct an appraisal of computerised cognitive behaviour
therapy for depression and anxiety, in order to provide guidance on its use to
the NHS in England and Wales.

In its latest Appraisal prepared for further consultation, the committee states
that of the three packages considered, only Beating the Blues would be
recommended for use in the stepped care management of depression in primary and
secondary care, offered to all patients who present with mild to moderate
depression.

Ultrasis' healthcare and biotechnology expert, Dr Charlie Martin, said; 'Beating
the Blues has already been clinically proven in Randomised Controlled Trials
conducted by Dr Judy Proudfoot and her colleagues at The Institute of
Psychiatry, King's College, London. All existing evidence, along with additional
findings from more recent clinical use, was made available to the committee to
assist with their appraisal. Needless to say, we are delighted that these
preliminary findings support our own views on the effectiveness of Beating the
Blues.'

Welcoming the news Ultrasis' CEO, Graham Lewis, said; 'The previous Consultation
Document was very favourable, but this recommendation, albeit a preliminary one,
further strengthens the case for Beating the Blues as the clear CCBT option of
choice for treatment of people with mild or moderate depression within the NHS.'

He added; 'This is as a very significant staging post for Ultrasis. A potential
nationwide roll out of Beating the Blues would, in addition to its financial
scope, constitute a vital step forward in our ambition to make our products an
integral part of mainstream NHS provision.'

Comments on the Appraisal Document are invited over the next few weeks and NICE
is expected to make its formal recommendation to the Department of Health in
September this year.

Here we go again, up, up, and away.

Here's hoping!! Looking good for Ult and co! Did they know that shares going up is one way of beating the blues? - As part of a balanced psychological support structure of course...

Poverty
I thought you had gone long ago.

looking good for the future all it needs is revenue to start coming in ,in the last 2 rns news no contract has been signed lets hope it wont be long.cheers woodie

WOODIE
I thought you had gone long ago as well.

driver at least a few years yet before i get out of this stock.cheers woodie

just seen rns feels like private shareholders have been sold down the river,would you have brought at 0.45p i would have.cheers woodie

Still on bank side, wanting to climb aboard, but thought there was to be a consolidation after the move to AIM. RNS implies not; can anyone advise.
sd.

I was gone... And am back again.... But will be gone again if shares go to .45p!!!

On balance I think it is good news. ULT don't have a lot of value yet TO dilute! If these are all placed with institutions/banks then hurrah - it gives them cash and the future looks bright. Have to say it is a risky play overall though.

Enjoy.

poverty there were not all with institutions cant be more spefic but monday all will be revealed!!!!!! cheers woodie

like i said just a yoyo,now you know where the money is coming from,will it be enough,maybe untill the next time,i am glad i got rid of it and banked the profits,remember news send shares up,but only profits keep it up,now that they got 738000 in the bank they do not give a sheet about the share price anymore
i will buy back one day maybe,but it will have to come down a long long way

I have a similar view to Poverty I will hang about, or just put them in the draw, what ever happens I am sure there will be plenty of new deals to come in the future.

BEAT THE BLUES WITH A CYBERDOC
By Sam Lister

Computer programmes to defeat depression have been cleared for widespread use in the NHS

MILLIONS of people suffering from depression, phobias and panic attacks will be able to get counselling by computer on the NHS by the end of this year.
An appraisal of computerised cognitive behaviour therapy by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence recommends that two computer programmes be offered as treatment for mild and moderate depression, panic and phobia. The programmes, Beating the Blues and FearFighter, are the first computer therapies to be promoted by the institute, the treatment watchdog that advises on best practice for the NHS.

They work by asking questions that encourage patients to explore the conditions from which they are suffering and help them to identify coping strategies.

The watchdog advised against use of this treatment in 2002 because of lack of conclusive research but new evidence has now persuaded it of the clinical benefits and cost- effectiveness.

Rates of depression have soared in recent years, with an estimated six million Britons now affected. GP consultations jumped from four million to more than nine million between 1994 and 1998, while in 2002, doctors prescribed 26 million antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) more than double the quantity of a decade earlier.

The World Health Organisation recently gave warning that soon depression will be the second biggest burden on healthcare globally, after heart disease.

The final guidance from the institute, which is not expected to change from its current draft appraisal form, is due to be released in September.

Primary care trusts, which treat 95 per cent of mental health problems, will then have three months to ensure they have the computer therapies available for patients.

Implementation is expected to cost around 100million.

Unlike conventional depression treatment, based on consultations with doctors and psychotherapists and regimented courses of medication, both programmes require a single guidance session, dramatically reducing costs and pressure on staff. Random trials have shown Beating the Blues to be as effective as, and greatly enhance, other clinical treatments. For many patients, particularly those who fear confrontation with a clinician, it has been found to be a far quicker cure.

Of the 1.3 million sufferers of severe depression, only 10 per cent receive adequate therapy because of a reluctance to seek help and waits of up to a year to see a counsellor. Depression costs the NHS more than 1 billion a year and accounts for 6 billion in lost productivity.

Last year Swindon Primary Care Trust became the first trust in Britain to bring in Beating the Blues. A further three trusts have since adopted the programme, as well as private clinics such as The Priory, in southwest London.

Peter Crouch, one of the first GPs to trial the programme, said it had increased capacity more than fivefold. The programme, which was developed by the Institute of Psychiatry in London and Ultrasis, an IT healthcare company, takes sufferers through systematic steps to help them to think differently about everyday triggers of anxiety from running late in a traffic jam to being stood up in a bar. Character case studies the middle-class housewife, the elderly widow, the single parent offer insights and emotional responses.

HOW IT WORKS

The computer asks the patient how depressed or anxious they feel on a scale of one to eight. A progress report is compiled, and users are asked to identify particular anxious moments.

What has been worrying you?
I lost my dog.
Im sorry to hear that. That must have been very upsetting for you. Have there been events that have made you happy?
I found my dog.

That is good news. You must be pleased.

The user is asked to respond to different scenarios that might induce depression and anxiety.

You are in a bar waiting for a friend. Your friend has not turned up. How would you feel?
I would be concerned that they might have been in an accident.

The computer summarises the particular emotion at play, for example anxiety. The programme introduces case studies of others who offer their responses to the scenario, helping the user to identify patterns of negative thoughts."

Sounds like a load of soft handed social worker gobbledygook to me, but what the hell, if it makes me money, I should care!!!

Driver: Your advice on the PCM thread was timely. Took advantage of the recent price drop to start piling into ULT; will elaborate later.

not a bad deal at 0.45!!!!!

Yea - but their holdings are piddly diddly! Chairman holds 2.2 m shares - big deal! I hold about a quarter of that and I am not on the board or anywhere near it! If I had faith in my co I think I would invest a bit more than that!

There are 1.1 Billion shares sloshing around now.

you are right i sold my 1250000 at 1.22 a while ago and laughing all the way to the bank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you have a bit of stress i recommend a good week holliday,or a nice pint of guiness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOODIE what do you think of the statement today.

Yea, pint of Guiness please, Ta!

grandadg i know the statement was coming out i feel let down that private shareholders were not given the chance at a bargain price having said that the reason they went down this route was to save money. the estimate for an open offer and for it to be underwritten was an extra 150k.the money raised will help to achive quick execution of contracts it looks like the worst is now over as all the bad news is out of the way.cheers woodie

I have a friend who is an astute investor and has suffered from epilepsy and stress; he thinks that ULT will be a licence to print money, if it works.
I think it could be a licence to print money, even if it doen't work, provided it is approved by the authorities - which it appears to be.
After all there doesn't seem to be any standards of performance for mental health problems, everything is subjective and doctors simply send most of their patients on their way with a prescription for tranquillisers, with a risk of side effects and even addiction. Surely, in many cases,, it would be better to give them a prescription for ULT which at worst would give patients something to occupy their troubled minds. Thats how I see it in simplistic terms.

WOODIE
I agree lets hope that is all the bad news out of the way.

squidd
Welcome aboard, good post.

Radio 2 was talking about it yesterday that all the NHS will have it installed by the end of the year (prety quick)I personaly expect a fast take up of this product.
within the next few weeks sub penny will be a distant memory (not a ramp more of a definate probability).

The products for the consumer market (recently out-licensed) could be market tested later this year, and on the market proper during 2006/7.

ULT will receive royalties on sales.

SAM24
Nice one, you listen to radio 2?

Listening to Radio 2 is above and beyond the call of duty!!
Alan

L2 is getting stronger by the minute:-D

Big ticker up coming now.

Not a bad day then.

nice rise today on no news.cheers woodie

WOODIE
Just thinking the same myself could be the Radio 2 facter Re SAM24 post 268.

ACQUISITION ON THE CARDS IN THE NEWXT 2 WEEKS?.. MORE NEWS WILL BE FOLLOWING THE FUND RAISING FOR SURE.

GUPPYWORLD
I forgot about ACQUISITIONS that's what they said they wanted the money for, now what can they buy with there few grand.
I thought GUPPYs were small turn your CAP LOCK OFF.

sticky keys, re ACQUISITIONS.. we know they want the cash for it, but I don't feel anyone realises how close they are to making them!!

Have been monitoring this for the last two days:

Keep an eye on ULT tomorrow. All indications are that 6-10% up is on the cards. The only thing worrying me is the hourly intraday data. Its beginning to decline and the stocastics over the shorter time period have also hit the roof. That is because for the last 3 sessions it has been constantly positive. Question is can it remain there for a few more days? well the longer term data backs it up that it can.

In candlestick terms the last three sessions have been bullish. All three sessions have opened up from the previous days close.

The most interesting thing though so far is the price has not penetrated the upper bollinger band, but is simply hogging it, almost playing with it, without any real attack. Tomorrow should be the day it makes that attack to try and go above it.

My only concern to summarise is the stocastics, have moved too quick into overbought, but the other indicators trail, which may give some further mileage. Off course if there is any news then ignore everything I said, as news takes more importance than TA.

I will post as when I can. good luck all.

carchase: You have to remember that this is another new paradigm, where the rules are different. Here we are in an area of mental health and if the statistics are anything to go by, a proportion of investors are affected and no doubt some are even following this thread.
sd.

squidd
"a proportion of investors are affected" are you trying to say some thing squidd.

driver: No, but speaking as a heavyweight shareholder at Tuesdays meeting of our Investors Club, I tried to sell them the idea of a stake in ULT. This was rejected - 'Stress Counselling' they said, 'that's just psycho-babble'. Afterwards, there was widespread support for a motion that I should seek for personal use, any shareholder perks on offer.
sd.

sd,
I agree, it is psycho-babble, and I am on record on this board as saying so,BUT, that doesn't make it a bad share. Psycho-babble has been trendy for decades, and seems to get more so every year. This alone should make it a good holding, which is one reason I am long on it.
Your club seems to argue that if none of them smoke, BAT is off limits. Strange strategy. Stick with this. Psycho-babble rules!!
Alan

Ultrasis on the main lunchtime ITV news with their 'Beat the blues' computer software..Lady interviewed said it had helped her..the name of Ultrasis came up on screen..Graham Lewis was interviewed..sounded good.

grandadg do you think it will be on tonight.

woodie,

cc said it would be shown throughout the day.

good luck


pbo

.

blimmy fame at last.

just seen itn could have mentioned ult was a listed co.

I make that four times in one day that the piece was run, on the news channel.

PBO nice to see that you are here too. I have bought back into ULT and this time it looks a better long termer.

carchase,

welcome back aboard. im well into the third year of holding these.

it looks very promising now, at times i thought we were going down

but im still here and on another well known site to you!!

this is my biggest holding by far and i reckon its going to be

bigger than mxc, which i still hold. im holding for the long term on both.

any way look forward to your charting and input.

keep the faith.

pbo

ps i go on holiday for three weeks tomorrow night so i may not be able to post

I see events like this today:

We were up 2.83% and the buying was enough to pull it into the 6% bracket. However just before the item on ULT went out on ITN news, in came some sells. This could be down to the fact that 41,417,000 shares were admitted today onto AIM. Some of them have been sold. What is interesting is that the sales went through just before that news item, and pushed ULT into the red.

Price has been rising constantly for three sessions, and there has been good buying, but the MM knew that this day of additional listing was going to be an issue for them. Todays weak selling has been absorbed. What would be ideal is to see MM buying now, but we could be a little of that just yet, and maybe they may want to see how the morning pans out first, and if they can get a bit more stock in first. If the holders of the news shares today have not sold now, I don't think they will sell until over 1p. Which bring me onto the next point.

Tomorrow is beginning to get significant for ULT. Its not far off 1p and the TA data still holds true as it did last night. The sellers have hardly made a dent. Be prepared for a couple of hours of quiet during tomorrow morning, as the MM may want to chance if there are any more sells in this range. If not then the price above can be slowly supported. 1p tomorrow maybe not, but the attack on it is possible sometime into next week. If it does do not expect much more until further news.

BTW if there is news tomorrow, then all Technical analysis is off...news takes first point of importance. Will be watching when there is time.

PBO
You are an A1 poster mate. Wish you a very good holiday, and I agree that this could get bigger than MXC (which I am still holding, but no need to get involved on a day to day basis anymore, its looking after itself well).

I am finished with the other site now. No more posts. This site is more relaxed, and easily readable.

Just trying to get back into the swing of things.

WOODIE sorry for not answering yesterday, i just quickly posted and was out all day.

Welcome aboard Carchase and PBO. Nice to have your input.

grandadg no probs looks like it has had no impact on people rushing to buy.

Already in profit from last week's buy, so under the influence of all the psycho-babble, newsflow and general encouragerment from this site, have topped up this morning via comdirect @ 0.87. Tranquillisers are supposed to be addictive so why should't ULT be as well.
sd.

could do with a few more buys goin through

If ULT were a pharma with an NHS panacea at the point of full approval, the sp would have gone thro' the roof - back to its dotcom levels; yet despite favourable press and recent TV coverage, there are still lots of sellers and few buyers. Strange - any explanations out there?
sd.

suidd all it is comment as i pointed out before there have only been 2 contracts signed over the last few months also they was no mention of price in the rns statements the uptake is slow, comment does not bring revenue to the co.cheers woodie.

to live on white bread and water is fantastic if you are in love!!!!!!!!!!!!
but only for 2 days>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

5 mill sale early who was it? this was at below market price.

I know we have covered this but I thought I would put it on any way its of the ULT W/Site.

ITV news at 12:30pm today 9/06/2005 featured a news item on Beating the Blues. Dr Peter Crouch from the Tawhill Medical Practice in Swindon and Graham Lewis, CEO of Ultrasis, were both interviewed. The programme focused on the benefits that could be gained by patients and the NHS by using Beating the Blues in the light of the NICE recommendations.

Dr Charlie Martin of Ultrasis was also interviewed in a live BBC Radio Humberside phone-in programme on Tuesday 7th June. This focused on the innovative nature of Beating the Blues and how patients could get access.

Some of the sales - especially 2,000,000 -are buys - very misleading for some !!!! I put the 2 m buy at 8 am through TDW. Would not be surprised if the sales listed between 7.58 am and 9.05 are buys !!

All good stuff: FIRST CANADIAN ORDER OPENS THE DOOR TO NEW MARKET

Commenting on the news, Ultrasis plc CEO Graham Lewis added, 'This latest
development in Canada, following the recent announcement of a pilot programme
for Beating the Blues in New York State, is another step towards our long term
ambition of establishing Ultrasis' products in the largest healthcare markets in
the world.

If you don't get on board now the sp (IMO) will leave you behind.
Just look at the ever-increasing rapid advance of ULT. All this year.

The market giveth - and the market taketh away...

Up .08 then down .06... oh well!

driver: Must agree with your post 307. But what's wrong with the punters?
ULT gets all that free PR on TV and NBC and there's a wave of selling. I'm wondering whether there's a problem with the name of their flagship offering - Beating the Blues. OK for depressives but maybe the wrong message for investors.
sd.

squidd
Blimmy squid you was up early I hope you are not getting depressed, I think the name is OK, I cant understand the sp with so much going on, I am sure the sp will respond soon if the orders keep coming, and also like Woodie has said in the past the revenue has to start to come in.

driver: It isn't shares which waken me at this time of the morning, but the New Forest owls across the river who choose this time of day to give important tips. I blame them for the one disaster I'm nursing at tha moment - I thought they told me to buy YOO.
Have a look at CBM, which seems to be showing signs of life.

Never mind CBM, you beter get some ERT before they take of.

nobody is talking anymore,well fasten your seat belt.

plm2349: Please explain; I hope we're not about to crash at ULT.
sd.

squidd
not we i bought ult in december at 0.33 well before the mugs sold at 1.36 it went up so fast that i could not sell before,then i bought back at 0.86 and sold at 1.22 and never bought again.always take a profit as if tomorow never comes,ult is know a yoyo,the only way to make money on it is to buy and sell
then i moved to wgt bought at 0.11 sold at 0.17 and moi bought at 0.79 and 0.59
i am now stuck in moi 0.40 today even when you are smart you get stuck today i bought yoo at 3.85 if and when it hits 6.00 then goodby yoo,i do not collect shares and talk about it for months if you make 25%+ a month you will be a rich man like my grandfather who bought and sold quickly
you see we are not inside the market never beleive what you read its bullsheet
good luck to you

The last of the ISA sellers sold yesterday. Today ULT is beggining to climb back to previous highs, already started very strong this morning. Don't miss the bottom, this one moves quick!

plm2349
squidd ask you a simple question and you give him your life history, if I had followed your system I would have lost a lot of money. I have had some shares for years, some of them are 1000% up, I bought seo for 4p. I take it you would of got out at say 5.5p they are now 25p and still going strong.

driver i can see that mathematic is not your favourite subject
make 25% a month for 12 months = 14500%
1000=14500 12 months
14500=211000 12 months
211000=3060000 12 months

IT IS CALLED THE SNOWBALL IMPACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if you got any brain think !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

















i

sorry 1 year =1450%

plm2349
You dont have to apologise, I see that mathematics is also not your favorite subject, mind you, you could have used the edit button and I wouldnt have seen it.
Thanks for lesson in the SNOWBALL IMPACT although I have never heard of it, it would be a bit of a pain in my circumstances having to go to work and not being able to keep an eye on things 24/7.
If your grandfather made so much money he doesnt sound as if like he like you very much because your family would be so rich you wouldnt be bothering to earn a crust on here, or even bothering to talk to such a cretting as myself.

unfortunately my grandfather was shot in 1943 by the gestapo in pionnat (creuse france)for terrorist activity as they called it at the time. he died long before i was born. me too i am working for a living . but i had time to buy
yoo at 3.97 and sold some at 6.00 but driver my secret is ALWAYS KEEP THE PROFITS IN SHARES so know i have 40000 yoo shares totaly free of charge i keep them for when i retire,it is the only way i know to build miself a free fat pension by the way on yoo i made over 50% in 6 days this is my kind of work it is the only way i know.

Zari Resources PLC - ZAR

Zari Resources is about to take off .In my opinion a deal is about to be announced regarding a West African venture involving Horizon. The Price is at rock bottom and this is about to go north very fast.

The company is well run and has a very strong management and will be one of the mining stars of 2005

Its time to buy at these historically low prices. Companies like these move fast and when the news hits it will be too late to get in at these low levels.



IMHO DYOR

by the way driver look at ult know, 0.77 i hold 1250000 shares totaly free of charge and i do not really care what price they are today or tomorrow they are not for sale,they are part of my collection.MY FREE COLLECTION

plm2349
I'm going to finish this, well done on your freebies, keep an eye on them some times companies have a tendency to go under. I have had a few of them.
Good luck.

ULT will surge soon:-D

P.S. All 0.79p trades are buys.

NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR HEALTH AND CLINICAL EXCELLENCE

Appraisal Consultation Document

Computerised cognitive behaviour therapy for depression and anxiety (review)

The Department of Health and the Welsh Assembly Government have asked the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE or the Institute) to conduct an appraisal of cognitive behaviour therapy for depression and anxiety and provide guidance on its use to the NHS in England and Wales. The Appraisal Committee has had its first meeting to consider both the evidence submitted and the views put forward by the representatives nominated for this appraisal by professional organisations and patient/carer and service user organisations. The Committee has developed preliminary recommendations on the use of computerised cognitive behaviour therapy for depression and anxiety.

This document has been prepared for consultation with the formal consultees. It summarises the evidence and views that have been considered and sets out the preliminary recommendations developed by the Committee. The Institute is now inviting comments from the formal consultees in the appraisal process (the consultees for this appraisal are listed on the NICE website, www.nice.org.uk).

Note that this document does not constitute the Institute's formal guidance on this technology. The recommendations made in Section 1 are preliminary and may change after consultation.

The process the Institute will follow after the consultation period is summarised below. For further details, see the Guide to the Technology Appraisal Process (this document is available on the Institute's website, www.nice.org.uk).

The Appraisal Committee will meet again to consider the original evidence and this Appraisal Consultation Document in the light of the views of the formal consultees.
At that meeting, the Committee will also consider comments made on the document by people who are not formal consultees in the appraisal process.
After considering feedback from the consultation process, the Committee will prepare the Final Appraisal Determination (FAD) and submit it to the Institute.
Subject to any appeal by consultees, the FAD may be used as the basis for the Institute's guidance on the use of the appraised technology in the NHS in England and Wales.
The key dates for this appraisal are:
Closing date for comments: 17 June 2005
Second Appraisal Committee meeting: 29 June 2005

Details of membership of the Appraisal Committee are given in Appendix A and a list of the sources of evidence used in the preparation of this document is given in Appendix B.

Anyone can help and explain why not a single buy for one week & evrey day lots of selling !!

There have been quite a few buys, but within the spread, hence showing as sells. The price would have fallen much lower if they were all sells.

If it helps welassal - i am sitting on a vast amount - awaiting news - as for sales - money must be shifting to other sectors where there is quick return.
Also at times cannot understand why on moneyam , when it is a purchase either it does not show or shows as sales when it is not. Not long ago my buy and sale of 2m shares of ULT - both sell and buy went through as sales !!!!

The streaming system is automated and works on comparison with mid price. If the trade is executed at a price lower than mid price, it is reported as a sell. If higher than mid price, reported as buy. Always work out the mid price and calculate the trades for yourself accordingly. Don't take the streaming literally. Go to the trades page and read the note at the bottom of the page!

Thanks britshare -p/271

ULT has bottomed out and started to move up again. Very cheap and moving fast due to the oversold position.

britshare
Its 7.43% down?

I hope some of you got in yesterday, this is moving on.

Back in yesterday with 2 lots of 500k at 0.68

Added some yesterday to bring my old average down - now sit and wait. Hope fully good news not far away !! p/271

This stock will just give you depression, cut my losses yrs ago when i realised what a pile of poop it was and am surprised it's still hanging on - my advice would be to stay away it won't be around in 12mths.

This company has been winning orders this year, but sp has drifted recently, due for a lift to previous year high of 1.2p

Another tick up this morning, slowly climbining back to previous highs.

Not long to go now:-D

Hello SAM24 - do you have any specific news on ULT - will appreciate as it has been very quiet for long time. Thanks p/271

pension271,

NICE appraisal should come out anytime now, when that happen ULT WILL
HIT THE ROOF.

'Just spoken to Alana Miller at NICE, she says the CCBT final review will be with consultees, ie ULTRASIS, by the end of next weekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk, and should be posted on the NICE website, by the end of August for sureeeeeeeeeee. She also said there is no consultation after this review is made public, but interested parties can appeal should they wish..so basically we are looking at the end of August for BLASTOFF, hopefully, all being well. She also said that once companies have NICE approval they are put in touch with the "NHS implementation team" - their job is to help companies, like hopefully, ULTRASIS, get their products to the paying PCTs and Commissioning bodiesssssssssss...

Time to top up N'es Pas?

The light at the end of the tunnel is now officially "switched on".

I'm hoping for BTB on its own, as the rec' for mild/moderate depression and a 10p sp. Here's to hoping.

========================================================

SAM24 - Thank you - big boost to the morale on this share - as you say here's to hoping !!

If NICE is forwarding its recommendations to ULT by the end of next week, and assuming all is good, then ULT will surely release a RNS then, and not wait to do it simultaneous with NICE at the end on the month, as Rockin Robin has said (post 5426). I also think ULT will be drip fed info until then, which may be leaked. Also, just think how many contracts ULT have agreed for BTB, but is conditional upon the NICE approval. Basically, IMO, this baby is going to Rocket passed shuttle Discovery by the end of this week or next.

with the N.I.C.E. report imminent, which will be followed by many PCT's - 44 were interested in buying CCBT from the 2002 N.I.C.E. report but then decided to await further evidence, now the evidence is there + the negative data on anti-depressants which has been published since then must persuade a higher number of PCT's to put BTB in place.
my own research into N.I.C.E. is that the final report will be on the website during August & all doctors/PCT's etc are communicated with by letter at the same time - the Aug., date is when a glossy brochure is sent out.


(abacus report from 2002 guidance - p35)
www.abacusint.com/downloads/ NICE_Guidance_Abacus_International.pdf
Figure 33: Manufacturer sales of CCBT
NICE guidance concluded that further evidence into the value of CCBT for treating depression was required. In discussion with two major suppliers of CCBT, it was clear that the impact of NICE guidance had been dramatic on enquiries into purchases. There were 44 active enquiries from mental health trusts/PCTs. Following the NICE guidance publication all of these withdrew suggesting that they would wait for further evidence into CCBT or another NICE review.

Are We Expanding? - this looks remarkably the same as the job advert on Ult web-site, except this is for 3 people - should we get excited!!! is good news finally going to come our way?

This stock is looking very interesting again. It is very unlikely that the NICE final recommendations will differ much from those in the appraisal document. The request for comments on the preliminary report is standard practice but rarely leads to any significant change, largely because the practioners and health managers have been widely consulted beforehand.

Thread for the more intelligent.
