NHS Scotland has pioneered the use of digital to support patients with specialised mental health needs by implementing the SilverCloud® platform into their care pathways. This webinar will unpack the NHS Scotland story and how they are helping people with Long-Term Conditions manage their mental health, as well as families during the Perinatal period.
We will be joined by Chris Wright, National Advisor for Digital Mental Health, Scottish Government and Douglas Hiscock CPsychol, Behavioural Health Lead, Amwell for an in-depth discussion on how digital can support these patient groups.
Long Terms Conditions
Common mental health issues such as anxiety and depression are two to three times more likely to occur in people with physical long-term conditions compared with the general population. Being diagnosed with a long-term condition can have a profound and multidimensional impact on an individual’s life. NHS Scotland have been utilising the SilverCloud platforms programmes to support people with Long Term Conditions such as Chronic Pain, Diabetes, Heart Conditions and Lung Conditions. This has allowed the services to provide care to a dispersed population and provide support support in context of high levels of demand for specialist psychology resource. We will hear more from Chris Wright about some of the results, outcomes and challenges faced by NHS Scotland with this patient group
Perinatal Mental Health
Mental health issues during the perinatal period, pregnancy and one year after childbirth, are common. Approximately 10-20% of women in the UK experience mental health issues such as depression during pregnancy. Pregnancy complications such as miscarriage increase this risk of mental health issues during perinatal period. Families need prompt access to evidence-based treatment to improve outcomes. NHS Scotland will unpack how they are utilising the SilverCloud platform to support families during the perinatal period.
