Ultrasis plc appoints Capital to boost financial communications
Ultrasis plc, the provider of computer-delivered, interactive healthcare products and associated services, has appointed Capital MS&L to lead its financial PR and investor relations.

The AIM-listed company wants to ensure potential investors, analysts, commentators and the healthcare sector are informed about its progress in delivering computerised cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) programmes for the treatment of depression, stress and anxiety.

Using its expertise in health, psychology, software development and programme management, the company is targeting its computerised healthcare products at the NHS, the corporate sector and other healthcare providers in the UK and US.

Ultrasis won key endorsement in February 2006 when the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommended its Beating the Blues product, developed in collaboration with Dr Judy Proudfoot and her colleagues at the Institute of Psychiatry, London, as a treatment option for people with mild or moderate depression.

As the first to offer computerised products based on CBT and interactive multimedia, Ultrasis remains the world leader in this field. The Company's portfolio of clinically valid products helps people tackle stress, anxiety, depression and related chronic conditions.

Beating the Blues, in particular, is expected to have a major impact on the ability of GPs to offer non-pharmaceutical treatments and reduce waiting lists for cognitive behavioural therapy. CBT has been shown to be a cost effective and time efficient way of helping people suffering from anxiety and depression to get better and stay better.

Commenting on the appointment of Capital, Nigel Brabbins, Chief Executive of Ultrasis plc, said: "The NICE endorsement of our first product was a major landmark for us, but this sort of recognition is the result of a sustained effort by our team. Now more than previously, we need to make certain our stakeholders and customers understand our offering."

Peter Curtain, the Capital director leading the account, said: "We are delighted by this vote of confidence by the Ultrasis Board and look forward to working with this terrific Company."

This may be good news, maybe a little more positive info a little more often will help stabilise the share price a bit and stop the recent trend of declines in shareprice continuing.

pension271 - 29 Jun 2006 10:24 - 490 of 1525

Can anyone please explain why when 97% of nearly 4.5 million are buys why price instead of moving up , has infact gone down???Thanks

odsalrob - 29 Jun 2006 11:18 - 491 of 1525

I've asked that question before - you not received an answer !

gbrown100 - 29 Jun 2006 11:48 - 492 of 1525

I remember a post, I think it was Haystack with the immortal words "This share is doomed"... It made I laugh!

Seriously though, it would be worth understanding this a bit more, does anyone have any insight into this?

With over 50% of my stake now evaporated into thin air I have long past given up caring when it drops but would LOVE to understand why it is bucking the trend! Are there transactions that cannot be seen here? Cynic, I am sure you will have an opinion here!

WOODIE - 29 Jun 2006 12:36 - 493 of 1525

Are there transactions that cannot be seen here?
gb yes there has been sells to the m/makers that will not show up on the buys & sells, this is why the s/price has been in a down trend since earlier in the year once the overhang is cleared then it should start to recover.

odsalrob - 29 Jun 2006 14:13 - 494 of 1525

Is it a big overhang ?

gbrown100 - 29 Jun 2006 17:32 - 495 of 1525

Thanks for the explanation Woodie - I am learning as I go here, can I ask how you are able to deduce where these shares are going day to day?

I am sure there are websites and other sources of info that I don't know about or is this just good old graft and poking around in previous threads and news announcements?

WOODIE - 29 Jun 2006 17:57 - 496 of 1525

no probs the good news the overhang should clear soon but all depends on sellers/buyers that you see on the trading screens, but these can be manipulated by the mms ie vog today is a prime example shares down 30% but buys more then sells.even for seasoned investors/traders some of the action in the s/price does not make sense.hope that helps a bit

gbrown100 - 30 Jun 2006 13:34 - 497 of 1525

All help greatfully received!

pension271 - 03 Jul 2006 16:00 - 498 of 1525

The move up in price most welcome - any pundits care to comment if anything known - thanks

Stress therapy offer to ill jobless

David Hencke
Tuesday July 4, 2006
The Guardian


The government is to offer therapy treatment to people who have quit work because of stress and depression in its welfare reform bill, to be published today, which aims to cut the number of people claiming incapacity benefit.

Figures released by the Department for Work and Pensions yesterday show that 20 years ago, 27% of people claiming incapacity benefit were women. The latest figures show that 41% of claimants are women and 39.5% claim it because of stress and mental health problems.

John Hutton, secretary of state for work and pensions, said yesterday: "Mental health problems caused by stress at work may be as big a problem in this century as industrial injuries were in the last.

"That is why it is vital that we can focus resources on identifying mental health problems that impact on people's ability to work and finding better ways to help people overcome them."

Publication in Primhe finds Beating the Blues is an effective treatment for depression

A recent publication by psychologists and counsellors from the Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust and Swindon PCT has clearly demonstrated that clients suffering from depression found that Beating the Blues led to significant improvements in depression and general health. The paper is published (page 4) in the Primhe Journal of Primary Care Mental Health.

WOODIE - 04 Jul 2006 14:21 - 501 of 1525

johndoug & pension271 excellent finds, nice bounce in the share price over the last few days lets hope there is more to come.

Ultrasis PLC
11 July 2006


Press release 11 July 2006


Ultrasis plc secures key service delivery contract

Ultrasis plc, the provider of computer-delivered, interactive healthcare
products and associated services, has secured two new pilot contracts to provide
computerised cognitive behavioural therapy (cCBT) to Condition Management
Programmes (CMP) in the Northwest of England. These pilot contracts will further
extend the involvement of Ultrasis in a key Government initiative aimed at
helping people claiming incapacity benefits return to work

Under the contracts, Ultrasis will license its treatment program for depression
'Beating the Blues' and will also provide the associated implementation and
delivery support to enable participants to complete the eight sessions of
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy recommended under the programme as an integral
component of their return to work package.

Beating the Blues, which was approved by the National Institute of Health and
Clinical Excellence (NICE) in February 2006, was previously delivered directly
by CMP Case Managers, and has demonstrated significant value in helping people
to better manage their depression and anxiety.

Jayne Thomas, CMP Manager for Lancashire, commented: 'We identified that it
would be far more efficient and cost effective use of our resources, to
commission Beating the Blues directly from Ultrasis, which will manage the whole
process from appointment through to programme completion alongside case
managers.

'Our Case Managers will then be free to concentrate on their core role'.

Neil Perris, CMP Manager for Liverpool & Wirral, said: 'The evidence around
Beating the Blues is compelling and we are now able to deliver it to our
customers in a more practical and efficient way, which will mean that we can
support more people to a successful return to work.'

These Department for Work and Pensions-funded initiatives, part of the Pathways
to Work scheme, have proved very successful in enabling people to better
understand and manage their health condition or disability, improve their
quality of life, regain control and realise their aspirations so they can return
to work either immediately or in the future.

Dr Fiona Ford, General Practitioner Senior Lecturer associated with the project,
said: 'Beating the Blues delivers excellent clinical outcomes, particularly for
people whose chronic incapacity has led to loss of confidence and self-esteem.
Previous methods of delivery have restricted access to the programme, and we
hope that this new pilot will make Beating the Blues widely accessible and easy
to use and deliver. It makes practical sense to have the program delivered by
Ultrasis, thus ensuring that participants have easy access to IT support as well
as clinical supervision from our team.'

Nigel Brabbins, Chief Executive of Ultrasis plc, said: 'This is a significant
development for the Company and introduces us to a new market.

'Having demonstrated for themselves the clinical benefits of Beating the Blues,
the PCT approached us to see if we could help obtain even better outcomes. We
anticipate that the solution we have proposed will help them to improve their
efficiency, widen participation, increase access and provide them with a total
solution that could easily be replicated in other places. It is a real pleasure
to be able to work in partnership with such a progressive and forward thinking
primary care trust.'
