Press release 12th February 2008


Ultrasis plc

Beating the Blues in the North East

Ultrasis plc, the provider of interactive healthcare and associated services, is
pleased to announce that the 12 Primary Care Trusts ('PCTs') in the North East
Strategic Health Authority (SHA) have committed to provide Beating the Blues
('BtB') to all patients suffering from mild to moderate depression. The
agreement will have a value in excess of 500,000 over a two year period.

Ultrasis will be working with the PCTs to implement BtB and to promote its
availability to the whole population of the North East. Patients will be able to
receive treatment via their GPs from May 2008.

As compared with conventional 'one off' purchasing, this method of implementing
BtB has secured North East PCTs a saving in excess of 142,000 per annum by
utilising the favourable terms of the National Framework agreement, leveraging
purchasing power as a collective.

Nigel Brabbins, Ultrasis' Chief Executive, said: 'We are delighted that another
Strategic Health Authority, following the East Midlands' example, has taken up
this opportunity. This is great news for patients in the North East and East
Midlands and an opportunity to reduce mental health waiting lists.'

I hope the benefit they are bringing to their patients by using the financial
incentive Ultrasis negotiated with the NHS to collectively purchase 'Beating the
Blues' can now be delivered to all patients across England and Wales, as
government ministers have promised.'

NICE to rework public health guidance
Tuesday 12th February 2008



The government has asked the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) to develop new clinical and public health guidance.

The technology appraisal programme includes topics such as new and emerging health technologies as well as drugs, devices and procedures.

Health minister Dawn Primarolo said: "This work programme shows the government's continued commitment to ensuring that NICE tackles a wide range of issues that are important to the NHS and important to patients and carers.

"NICE is being asked to produce guidance on severe mental illness in conjunction with substance misuse. We have also asked NICE to develop joint public health and clinical guidance on alcohol use disorders that will not only cover prevention and early identification but also initial management.

"As part of its technology appraisal programme, NICE will produce guidance on a number of new cancer drugs and a new drug for the treatment of venous thromboembolism."

I remember buying these at 0.3p three or four years ago and selling them at 3p about a year later. Why is the price back below 1p anyway.

something i pick up bb could not have put it better............

America are doing trials now regarding drug missuse and mental health issues and finds that cbt is helping people coming off drugs.
we already know that BTB is proving positively in other areas.
Getting BTB in the door is the first step but it is going to open into a whole new world.

Government jumps gun on Summary Care Record roll-out
12 Feb 08

By Steve Nowottny

Government IT chiefs have drawn up plans to roll out electronic patient records across the country without waiting for an evaluation into the early adopter programme, Pulse has learned.

The BMA which is awaiting the results of the independent evaluation before issuing guidance to GPs reacted furiously to the revelations, insisting it knew nothing of the plans.

But a series of confidential Connecting for Health briefings obtained by Pulse set out for the first time the agencys blueprint for the rollout of the database.

According to one briefing, the agencys aim is for every SHA to have one PCT and unscheduled care setting live by the end of summer 2008.

However, the independent evaluation of the early adopter programme is not expected to report until the summer.

The Summary Care Record is currently being rolled out in five early adopter sites, with the briefing revealing that a sixth site, South West Essex PCT, will join shortly. A spokesperson for South West Essex PCT said patients were likely to start receiving letters by early April.

A wider national rollout is planned to begin later this year, and the leaked documents advise that planning for next PCT deployments can begin in 2007/8, taking account of evaluation findings as soon as available. A ripple deployment is planned initially, with the Summary Care Record being rolled out from early adopters to neighbouring PCTs.


Dr Gillian Braunold, clinical director for the Summary Care Record, denied that it was a requirement for every SHA to roll out the Summary Care Record by the end of summer, and said the briefing reflected preliminary plans for post evaluation.

She said: The NHS has been asked to start planning for the deployment of the Summary Care Record based on some planning assumptions. That said, the output of the independent evaluation will be used to ensure that any lessons learned can be taken on board before Summary Care Records are made available throughout England.

But BMA leaders expressed disbelief and anger. Dr Chaand Nagpaul, GPC negotiator, said:

I cant believe they actually mean what they seem to have said it wouldnt seem logistically feasible.

We expect an evaluation to be reported and published and for that to inform any further rollout of the SCR programme. As far as were concerned thats the process we believe is happening.

Preliminary findings from the independent evaluation, led by Professor Trisha Greenhalgh, a GP and professor of primary care at University College London, are also included in the briefings. Although the Summary Care Record had so far received a largely positive reaction, ensuring genuine sign-up and good data quality was essential, it concluded.

PCTs fail in legal duty to offer CCBT
11 Feb 08

By Lilian Anekwe

More than half of PCTs in England are still failing to provide computerised cognitive behavioural therapy (CCBT), more than a year after NICE made providing the service a legal obligation.

A Pulse survey of PCTs reveals that nearly 60% have not commissioned a CCBT service that accepts GP referrals.

Pulse can also reveal that the failure to provide psychotherapy is leading to rising numbers of people claiming incapacity benefit on the grounds of mental illness.

A NICE technology appraisal published in February 2006 recommended two CCBT programmes; Beating the Blues for people with mild and moderate depression and

FearFighter for people with panic and phobia.

NICE extended the deadline for PCTs to comply with the recommendations from three to nine months, but a Pulse investigation shows that more than a year after this deadline passed in November 2007, 58% of PCTs still have no CCBT programme in place.

Of those who PCTs surveyed who do have a service in place, nearly a third (31%) missed the November deadline for commissioning services set by NICE.


Nearly one in five (19%) told Pulse they were planning or either decommissioning on reviewing the CCBT services available for GP referrals because of poor uptake, or offering alternatives such as self-help and bibliotherapy.

A spokesperson for Lincolnshire PCT said: Our initial experience is that uptake and patient satisfaction is not as high as has been suggested.

Western Cheshire admitted that they were reviewing the use of CCBT as The general view was that, following an extensive local pilot of this programme within GP practice when it was first developed, the evidence of its utilisation didn't support its roll out as a clinical tool within a practice based setting.

This week the Liberal Democrats published figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act showing the average wait for psychotherapy and counselling services in NHS trusts was seven months. Six trusts recording waits of more than two years.

Pulse has also obtained figures from the Department of Work and Pensions illustrating the impact the paucity of psychotherapy services has had on the number of incapacity benefit claims.

The number of people claiming because of mood affective disorders rose by more than 73,000 (16%) between May 2002 and May 2007. The number claiming for other mental and behavioural disorder rose by nearly 30,000 (7%) in the same period.

Ultrasis is pleased to announce the purchase of its Relief Series and Beating
the Blues programmes by six leading Universities.

This represents a new market opportunity for Ultrasis and, with
approximately 300 Universities and many other Higher Education providers.
