NICE PRESS RELEASE

NICE issues guidance on computerised cognitive behavioural therapy for treating mental health problems.

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has today
issued guidance to the NHS in England and Wales recommending two
computerised cognitive behavioural therapy (CCBT) packages, widening the available options for treating people with depression and anxiety.

This guidance updates previous NICE technology appraisal guidance No51
from October 2002 and concerns five specific packages for the delivery of
computerised cognitive behaviour therapy, accessed via a referral from a
general practitioner (GP): three for depression (Beating the Blues, COPE andOvercoming Depression), one for panic/phobia (FearFighter) and one for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) (OCFighter, previously known as
BTSteps).

After considering the evidence, the Institutes independent Appraisal
Committee came to the following conclusions:

Beating the Blues is recommended as an option for delivering cognitive
behaviour therapy (CBT) in the management of mild and moderate
depression.

There is insufficient evidence to recommend the use of COPE and
Overcoming Depression as a clinically or cost effective option for the
management of depression, except as part of ongoing or new clinical
trials that are designed to generate robust and relevant data on the
clinical effectiveness of these specific CCBT packages.

FearFighter is recommended as an option for delivering CBT in the
management of panic and phobia.

OCFighter (previously known as BTSteps) is not recommended as an
option for delivering CBT in the management of OCD.

People currently using OCFighter, whether as routine therapy or as
part of a clinical trial, may be continued on therapy until the person, or
the GP and/or specialist, consider it appropriate to stop.

Professor Peter Littlejohns, Clinical and Public Health Director at NICE
and Executive Lead for the guidance, said: Todays guidance will make a
real difference in terms of increasing the range of options available to patients suffering from depression and anxiety. It provides clear advice to the NHS and patients, no matter where they live in England and Wales, on where CCBTtreatments can add value.

Ends

This will not do ULT BTB any harm.............

Call to aid school mental health
Teacher and pupils
Mental health must be tackled in school, according to researchers
A Jamie Oliver-style mastermind is needed to help mental health in schools, just as the chef helped eating habits, according to Scottish research.

The burden of poor mental health among children needs to be tackled to help in later life, said Aberdeen University.

The 100,000 project was funded by the Scottish Executive.

One researcher said: "Perhaps we need someone to do for mental health what Jamie Oliver has tried to do for kids' eating habits at school."

The project - Investigating the Links between Mental Health and Behaviour in Schools - explored how schools are dealing with a new tide of challenging behaviour thought to be triggered by poor mental health.

One in four young people is estimated to suffer from poor mental health, with problems such as self harm and depression becoming an increasingly common feature of the teenage years and below.

Janet Shucksmith
Project leader

It is thought there is a link between conduct problems in adolescence and then problems in adulthood.

Project leader Janet Shucksmith said: "If we don't want problems to stack up into later life, we have to start spotting young people's distress at an earlier age and acting to remedy it.

Disruptive pupils

"Schools are in a great position to act as this first line of attack on the problem.

"Schools can do much in the way they organise themselves, the relationships they have with pupils and parents, to promote good mental health as well as all the current emphasis on physical health.

"Perhaps we need someone to do for mental health what Jamie Oliver has tried to do for kid's eating habits at school."

The research project's main aim was to explore the different strategies in use throughout Scotland for working with those who become disruptive or withdrawn in school.

The researchers found the notion they might have some responsibility for working to improve young people's mental health and well-being is still relatively new to schools and teachers.

Another researcher, Dr Kate Philip, said: "Teachers shouldn't be frightened by the new responsibility. They are not on their own in this.

"New policies to make schools the focus of delivering services for young people mean that there is a whole range of different professionals willing to share their experience and skills.

"Clinical specialists are there, of course, to support the most needy pupils, but the whole school community benefits from having staff trained to develop a sympathetic ear to children's troubles and to act robustly to support them."

The Scotland-wide research involved interviews with key personnel from all local authorities across Scotland, as well as representatives of all health boards and a number of voluntary organisations with interests in mental health.

The report concluded that schools should undertake fundamental reviews of their structures and cultures, placing the well-being of children at the heart of their value systems

is there going to be some profit taking now ..?

Time to jump off, for now ..?!

Looks like the BORSON brigade got up before me and have done their work and the buggers got it right........ Believe we can now look forward to steady increases provided NHS deals will be concluded at a regular pace

I hope that the deals are more or less in place already, just a matter of signing on the dotted line.

kim a lot wont be ,the year end for most pcts is march lets hope they budget for the next year from april onwards if by june they is not a steady issue of rns then it is not going to plan.

robinhood,what's a BORSON bridge ? i jumped off ,for now,but will be back if they fall back, and i think they will in the next day or too..Thanks ULT you just made me a very happy man..".beating the blues" has just worked for meeeeee!!!!!!thank's...

Woodie. Good point.

bestblinds. Buy On Rumour Sell On News. It happens with all shares, but guessing the right timing is the secret, one that I hardly ever master!

Well the stop loss kicked in at 3.15 bid. That was so badly timed when I could have got 4p plus earlier, but I bought back in at 3p. Net effect is that I own about 4% more shares than this time yesterday (after spread, fees etc.) for no more outlay so the plan worked after a fashion. providing I timed the buy back correctly!!!

664k turnover, loss making and almost no net assets. This has to be worth next to nothing instead of its market cap. of 40m.

LOL

' 8 Billion a year is spent on depression health sickness benefits to people who have been pensioned off from full time work. Halton PCT closed a deal with Ultrasis for 150K. There are 400 PCTs within the UK. Not to mention BTB being trialled in Job centres at the moment since 2004 and putting people back to work. This is backed by the Health and Employment ministers to get people back to work and drop the 8 Billion health costs and put it back into taxes. This product will also be seen as a major application to also ensure equal oppertunites employment staff codes for companies too. It will be used through out all the emergency services and the armed forces. It is not IF it is WHEN?'

what the f*** is going on?????????? I can undestand that the NICE recommendation was already in the sp but to fall by as much as it did to levels well below 22/2 is in my book grossly overdone.

Nothing to worry about, just the quick buck makers on the loose, they'll be back when they've made a few more somewhere else! Time will be good to this company.

Seems to be a fire lit under ULT this afternoon.
Leaky company perhaps and news on its way?????
Alan

Hope so big buys going through this pm...
