Talking Therapies Delivered For Depression.
Over the past two years, NICE compliant psychological therapy services have begun to be rolled out across England. By the end of 2010/11, we expect to see nearly every PCT to have begun to deliver these services, with acces being available to approximately 60% of the population. The following PCTs will commencing services over the coming months. Engage now with your PCT to plan for an effective relationship from the start of the service.
Talking therapy services are already delivering:
*Improved mental health and wellbeing - over a 320,000 have now accessed IAPT services and 42% of those who have completed treatment have moved to recovery.
*Positive impact on employment and absenteeism – by combining therapy with access to employment support as an integral part of the service IAPT is helping people to stay in and return to work.
*Reduced health resource utilisation – as well as more effective prescribing practices, evidence is emerging to show that people with a long term health condition (such as diabetes, CHD or COPD) use fewer resources interms of out patient appointments, inpatient stays and diagnostics, if they receive a talking therapy.
To find out more about how you can identify how these benefits can be achieved in your area,
