How Beating the Blues can help GPs and their Patients

Primarily due to the current COVID pandemic there has been an increase in mental health problems presenting in society. This is likely to lead to much longer waiting times for face to face treatments to be accessed. By making Beating the Blues available it can help to reduce waiting times and help you to give an immediate response to your patients needs.

Reduce Waiting Times

By reducing waiting times, it can help improve resources within your practice, potential clients who you believe will need to be disengaged but aren’t fully sure can benefit from this. You will get regular updates on the progress of your client and our system will send an alert to your email if our advanced algorithm picks up signs of suicidal tendencies depending on answers from the course.

Increasing your recovery rates

Beating the Blues has been proven to help patients get better and stay better and has been shown by NICE to be very cost effective. The flexibility of the course will allow your clients to do the course at their own pace and during their own time. This will help provide immediate solutions for your patients which can help you save money and time whilst working at the same level and capacity.
