It’s no secret that wait times for mental health support in Ireland are creating barriers of access for people in Ireland.
Digital Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (iCBT) is available to General Practitioners (GPs) in Ireland via the SilverCloud® by Amwell® and HSE partnership.
This webinar is designed to educate GPs on the SilverCloud platform’s Digital CBT programmes and discuss how these programmes can enhance the mental health care offering for patients.
Hosted by a panel of experts including Dr. Aoife O'Sullivan, ICGP Clinical Lead for Mental Health and Rachel Bothwell, CEO and founder of GP Practice Ally.
Research is showcasing the benefits of Digital CBT in treating patients with mild to moderate symptoms of depression, anxiety and generalised anxiety disorder. This can support with waitlist management, giving immediate access to mental health support to patients with mild to moderate symptoms, freeing mental health care professionals to work with patients with more severe needs.
