Computer says "yes" to more accessible therapy


Computer-based therapy for milder, but more common mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety should be made available to any patients in England who could benefit from it from April, Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt said today.

Computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (cCBT) delivers cognitive behavioural therapy - proven to be clinically effective - through a computer. Providing this therapy as a first-line treatment for people with anxiety and depression heralds a significant shift towards providing new services closer to people at home and in the community.

Over 2007/08, the establishment of cCBT in every PCT in England will be an important building block in the delivery of comprehensive psychological therapy services.

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has approved two computer-based programmes for use by the NHS - Fear Fighter for treating people who have phobias or suffer from panic attacks, and Beating the Blues for treating people with mild to moderate depression. Such programmes will enable therapy to be provided in a greater number of locations and settings, such as at home or in the library. People who receive these services will also benefit from the support of a mental health professional.

Launching cCBT Implementation Guidance that will help the NHS to deliver these innovative therapies to patients, ahead of her speech at the MIND annual conference in Bournemouth, Patricia Hewitt said:

"Mental health services have clearly improved substantially, but we want to offer patients even greater choice over how, when and where they are treated. Being able to access the right kind of therapy, instead of just being prescribed medication, is central to this vision for patients.

"On April 1st, we will reach the first milestone in our drive to provide choice - namely quicker access to computer based self-help services to stop mild mental health problems becoming worse.

"Clinical evidence confirms that counselling and therapy are just as effective as medication in helping to treat most cases of depression. The guidance being published today will give the NHS the information they need to provide these services.

"In addition to continuing to improve services for people with severe mental health problems, we are working to improve the mental wellbeing of society as a whole, and providing a real, twenty-first century service for people with common mental health needs such as anxiety and depression."

Paul Farmer, Chief Executive of MIND said:

"Computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is an important addition to the range of treatment options available for people who suffer from mild depression or anxiety. It will bring therapy to the doorstep of users making it convenient and easy to access especially for people who live in remote locations. Its immediacy will benefit people who have been waiting months or even years to see a therapist."

"However, this method of delivery will not suit everyone. It is important that there is a choice of options."

Dr Peter Crouch, a GP and Forensic Medical Examiner at the Taw Hill Medical Practice in Swindon said:

"We have been using computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for over three years and the feedback by our patients is extremely positive.

"Our patients have found that using "The Relief Series" and "Beating the Blues" has significantly helped them to better cope with anxiety, insomnia and stress. Using the system has amplified the ability of our award winning local psychology service in Wiltshire to provide tangible and practical help and psychological support to those who need it.

"Very few services are able to be delivered within a few minutes of a consultation and in the patient's own home. We have patients who have logged in from work, home and anywhere they can access the internet. As we have many patients who travel, some have logged in from halfway around the world to continue the programme of support."

Last year, the Government announced the establishment of two improving access to psychological therapy (IAPT) demonstration sites in Doncaster and Newham. The programme's core purpose is to develop: evidence of the benefits of psychological therapies; service models on how evidence based services should be implemented nationwide; and incentives to enable the local NHS to deliver the new services.

NOTES TO EDITORS

At any one time, one in six adults is experiencing a mental health problem. Many are common, such as mild depression and anxiety.

Computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a generic term for a number of approaches for the delivery of cognitive behavioural therapy through an interactive computer interface. It can be delivered on a personal computer, over the internet or via the telephone. A wide range of health or social care staff can facilitate the sessions.

Beating the Blues(r) Ultrasis plc is a CBT-based package for people with mild to moderate depression and anxiety. The package comprises of a 15 minute introductory video and eight one hour interactive computer sessions, usually organised weekly. The package also includes homework projects that are completed between sessions and weekly progress reports are made available to the GP or other healthcare professional at the end of each session. The progress reports include anxiety and depression ratings and suicidal tendencies. The programme is available on CD ROM or online.

FearFighter(tm) ST Solutions Ltd is a computer based package for phobic, panic and anxiety disorders. The programme is available on-line. FearFighter(tm) is divided into nine steps with brief therapist contact and support provided by trained support workers through telephone calls, or emails at different intervals throughout treatment. Progress reports are available to the GP or other healthcare professionals and can be accessed at any time over the internet using ST Solutions Ltd's clinical outcome and patients progress monitoring system.

NICE guidance is at http://guidance.nice.org.uk/TA97

PCTs are expected to be able to offer the recommended cCBT programs by 31st March 2007. In order to achieve this goal, PCTs should:

- Undertake a local needs assessment;
- Purchase software licences;
- Ensure the availability of hardware for the delivery of packages;
- Ensure that appropriately trained staff are available to supervise delivery; and
- Develop referral protocols.

In 2007/08, the delivery of cCBT in every PCT in England is an important building block in the implementation of the kind of comprehensive psychological therapy service envisaged by the IAPT programme.

Ultrasis fails to win NHS contract
LONDON (ShareCast) - Computerised healthcare products provider Ultrasis (LSE: ULT.L - news) plunged Wednesday after confirming it failed to win (Advertisement)

a contract regarding the computer delivered implementation guidance for cognitive behavioural therapy (cCBT) which was launched today.

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE (Milan: NICE.MI - news) ) guidance requires full implementation of cCBT in every Primary Care Trust in England by 31 March 2007.

Ultrasis has previously developed 'Beating the Blues', a computerised cognitive behavioural therapy program approved by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence for the treatment of mild depression

not in this share anymore- went out last year- but waiting to dip my toes in again. What i do not understand is that if ULT did not "win" contracts with NHS, who has or are we now waiting another year for NICE to come up with an alternative. (I believe taht NHS contracts will come once have been sorted with them?

is it my imagination, or is this another company that consistently fails to deliver?

robinhood that piece above is what caused part of the sell off yesterday afternoon this morning it has been taken off the website,after ult contacted them.
Statement on ShareCast Article
"Shareholders have drawn to my attention an article that appeared on the 28th of March in ShareCast, a business website, concerning the Secretary of State's announcement that a Framework Agreement for the delivery of "Beating the Blues", Ultrasis's flagship CCBT product, across all Primary Care Trusts in England had been agreed.

I do not intend to repeat the inaccurate information but I confirm that the article is erroneous, misleading and was a gross distortion of the Secretary of State's announcement. Following a complaint from Ultrasis plc the publisher has undertaken to remove it from their website. May I thank shareholders who drew this article to my attention."
