am happy to admit that, following the announcement on further gov't spending (assuming they do not renege!), i have changed stance and think this company is now worth a dabble and have bought accordingly (about 1.375) ...... for the record, the historic high is +/-3.4 and sp has now surged through all importnat dma's inc 200 - assuming these levels are held through today's close

Online therapy helps people beat depression more quickly
Last updated at 09:39am on 11th October 2007

Counselling by computer can cut NHS waiting times by a quarter. New research reveals that an hour a day of online therapy has a huge impact on depressed patients.

A study by London's The City University found that more than three in five people can stop treatment after eight sessions. This allows doctors to discharge patients more quickly and reduce the need for drugs.

Computer counselling uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help patients develop a more positive outlook on life.

Programmes such as Beat the Blues challenge negative thinking through a special psychological self-help course. With conventional therapy, patients have to be face-to-face with a psychiatrist or counsellor.

Online therapy allows those with mild mental health problems to manage their own treatment either at a referral centre or at home.

Doctors can already prescribe the treatment on the NHS. Trials have shown it is as effective as other clinical treatments and can produce faster results.

An estimated six million Britons suffer from depression and anxiety. Only 10 per cent have access to therapy and waiting times can be up to a year.

The Government yesterday unveiled a 170 million boost for mental health services, and Alan Johnson, the Health Secretary, has pledged to roll out psychological therapies in 20 new areas next year.

The City University findings are the most comprehensive evidence yet that psychological treatments are effective in combatting not just depression but also eating disorders, chronic fatigue and mild epilepsy.

The study was based on 555 patients waiting for treatment at an NHS therapy centre in Chelmsford, Essex.

Despina Learmonth, who carried out the study, said: "This research provides compelling evidence that computerised therapy could be of significant value to patients."

well done cynic not many admit on a b/b a change of stance,are you in for long term or trading?

am always happy to admit when i change my mind, just plain wrong, and sometimes when i get it spot on!

at heart i am a trader using CFDs exclusively and rarely hold for more than 3/6 months ...... with ULT, the price movement will almost certainly determine my actions - e.g. could trade some or even all of my holding very quickly if i feel it is all going too far too fast

cynic from rns quote "We are delighted that the
Secretary of State has now committed the funds to ensure this is implemented and
we now expect the NHS to honour its LEGAL OBLIGATION and make Beating the Blues available to all patients who require it".unquote. Unless RNS is wrong unlikely that NHS wil renege

DOH! ..... why do you think my change of stance?

cynic thats why i asked long term or trading as the share has gone up from below 1p over the last month, profit taking will take place.

that is true, but without an rns to support the rise, there was no way i would have jumped on board or recommended same

just for info, absolutely massive volumes today .... already 30m against a daily average of only 4m ...... while many stale holders may well be getting out, there is clearly still plenty of appetite for sp is still comfortably ahead on the day

Bot these buggers at .83- sold them at 2.50. Bot back in at 1.50 then cried a bit , but as BTB had been approved by NICE thot it wud be only a matter of time b4 implementation by NHS. Pleased I did and at least in the foreseeable future there will be no competion to BTB as we all know now it takes yonks b4 NICE and NHS are ready to resp. approve and do business. Happily watching the orders to come in now in the next few months

cynic fair enough.

I bought these at 2.4 and never sold, have been watching it all dwindle away, maybe my apathy will be rewarded... or probably not lol

"The most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellect... You need a temperament that neither derives great pleasure from being with the crowd or against the crowd."................. (nice to have you on board CYNIC )

i admit to enjoying being quite provocative at times, and have certainly tended to march to my own tune in many aspects of my life .... it can be a bit uncomfortable at times, but sometimes brings home the bacon against the odds

Yes, but do you actually have anyone to share the bacon with...........or did they scarper a long time ago...........

??????????? strange comment even by my standards ..... obviously my wallet makes me a much greater object of desire that you clearly thought ..... Bernie Ecclestone has that magic in spades

'object of desire' ?? jeez, makes the mind boggle ;)

the likes of you and fliper consider me "an object of desire" only on the golf course where a juicy pigeon is perceived!

copy of mail i received a couple of days ago in response to the reuters interview.
xxxxxx

Here is a copy of a response to that question I sent yesterday:


Firstly, thank you for your kind wishes and yes we are obviously delighted at Alan Johnson's announcement yesterday, which of course we are using to ensure the Gov't fulfils its commitment on Beating the Blues - You will recall in March that Patricia Hewitt stood up at the MIND conference and pronounced the availability of BtB in the NHS from April 07, further supported on the NHS Choices website, advising patients to ask their GP's for it.



It is indeed unfortunate, that Reuters chose to use one word from a lengthy interview that could be misconstrued in its inference, but whilst I cannot pre-empt the announcement of our results you should not link "abysmal" take up by the NHS with what I have previously said on the subject of sales. Primary Care Trusts buying on the basis of the now agreed national framework are, of course, not Ultrasis' only customers.



It could well be seen however as fair comment from me that following the aforementioned statements by the Gov't and DH that the only "collective purchase" in the last 6 months was by the East Midlands. Yes it is encouraging that we can still achieve strong sales in the face of this level of uptake but you and I both know that all our efforts in recent year's deserve to come to fruition in this key market and we should continue to apply whatever pressure we can in making this happen - for the benefit of the thousands of patients that would benefit as well as the commercial rewards to shareholders for their investment in this business.



I trust you found this helpful.
