selfishly i hope and think more or less as per current lvl, however once our beloved civil servants at last will get their fingers out and stop talking to the point they themselves will need btb then a flow of orders should follow culminating to a sp in xs of 4

Ultrasis should update us on its Annual Report and Account ending 31/07 of every year. It is coming to the end of September now and we have yet to hear from them yet. I am nervous holding such a big chunk of shares on this company. Robin, can you enlight as what blockbuster have they got in their pipeline? I haven't been catching up with its recent development but as far as I could remember, they are not researching anything outside stress testing.

The Mental Health Foundation to give free online access to CCBT
Sep 26, 2006, 22:52, Reviewed by: Dr. Himanshu Tyagi


"Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is widely recognised as one of the most effective methods for treating depression, yet there is a major shortage of therapists. Most people who want to try Cognitive Behavioural Therapy have to join long NHS waiting lists or pay to see a therapist privately. While online CBT is not a replacement for face-to-face therapy, we need to start investigating other supporting treatments that people with mental health problems can use."


By Mental Health Foundation, From the 1st November to 3rd January, visitors to the Mental Health Foundation's website will be able to get free access to Depression Relief - an online self-help program that uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques. The program is being made available by Ultrasis, the healthcare company that developed Beating the Blues, the only computer based treatment for depression recommended by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) for use in the NHS.

Used by Primary Care Trusts in the United Kingdom and employee healthcare providers in the United States, Depression Relief is suitable for anyone experiencing mild or moderate depression. The confidential program allows users to go at their own pace, learning self-help techniques which can help them manage their condition.

We want people to know that the tools and techniques for prevention and treatment are available without having to wait months to see a therapist," said Nigel Brabbins, Chief Executive of Ultrasis Plc. Cost effective online programs need to be more widely available and we hope to reach as many people as possible through the Mental Health Foundation's website who may want help when NHS services are not available."

Visit www.mentalhealth.org.uk between 1 November 2006 and 3 January 2007 to get free unlimited access for four weeks. You will need broadband access to the Internet. Depression Relief has been designed for those aged 18 and over. The Mental Health Foundation strongly recommends that people should seek professional medical advice if they are concerned about their mental health.

slkhlaw- Only assumptions on my part I am afraid, but strongly believe that numerous PCT's will endorse BTB once white paper has been published. As it is also a cost effective treatment there should be no reason I can think of for the above not to be the case

The recent rise for Ultrasis is due to a report released by Reuters Investment Group yesterday.

Synopsis
From 1 November 2006 to 3 January 2007, visitors to the Mental Health Foundation's website will be able to get free access to 'Depression Relief', an online self-help program that uses cognitive behavioural therapy techniques.

From 1 November 2006 to 3 January 2007, visitors to the Mental Health Foundation's website will be able to get free access to 'Depression Relief', an online self-help program that uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques. The program is being made available by Ultrasis, the company that developed 'Beating the Blues', the only computer based treatment for depression recommended by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) for use in the National Health Service (NHS).

Ultrasis has adapted Beating the Blues to provide Depression Relief, one of four educational and awareness programs that makes up the Relief series, a range of web based, multi media self-help programs about depression, stress, anxiety and insomnia. Used by primary care trusts (PCTs) in the UK and employee healthcare providers in the USA, Depression Relief is suitable for anyone experiencing mild or moderate depression. The confidential program allows users to go at their own pace, learning self-help techniques which can help them manage their condition.

Andrew McCulloch, Chief Executive of the Mental Health Foundation said: "CBT is widely recognised as one of the most effective methods for treating depression, yet there is a major shortage of therapists. Most people who want to try CBT have to join long NHS waiting lists or pay to see a therapist privately. While online CBT is not a replacement for face-to-face therapy, we need to start investigating other supporting treatments that people with mental health problems can use."

Ultrasis looks to beat winter blues
If CCBT software helps to meet demand for mental health support, it could make shareholders as well as sufferers from depression more cheerful. Russ Mould looks on the bright side.

A report from the Healthcare Commission on the poor quality of support given to patients with mental health problems could give a further boost to demand for Ultrasis's (ULT:AIM) computerised cognitive behavioural therapy (CCBT) software.

The 20.7 million cap firm has already linked up with the Mental Health Foundation (MHF) to offer free access to an online self-help programme for anyone with mild or moderate depression.

The depression relief programme will be available free for four weeks to anyone who registers on the MHF website in November and December.

Ultrasis chief executive Nigel Brabbins then plans to retail the software, which follows the May acquisition of Healthstar for 2.9 million in shares.

The flagship 'Beating the Blues' program - related to the Depression Relief program - appears well positioned with the NHS, after the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommended the software as a treatment for mild and moderate depression.

Beating the Blues is a self-help treatment that features interactive modules, animation and voice overs and has been designed to be used even by those with minimal computer skills.

A government white paper has committed the NHS to providing access to CCBT by March 2007, although budgetary issues and the decision to merge a number of Primary Care Trusts has slowed down the proposed rollout.

The delays have caused Ultrasis's share price to sag from 3.38p to 1.95p, but Brabbins remains convinced a deal will soon be clinched.

'The product is finished, it is ready to be delivered and it works on the NHS's personal computers,' he tells Shares. 'We are being told it is a matter of when and not if,' Brabbins says.

The Healthcare Commission's review found patients do not always have access to 24/7 personal care and support.

Most local mental health teams do offer out-of-hours services but 51% of patients surveyed did not have the phone number of someone whom they could contact after office hours.

Almost three million people in the UK are diagnosed as having depression at any one time.
