Innovation 'Elevator Pitch': TPT is a new delivery platform for CBT offering easily accessible pre-recorded therapy sessions using a customised interactive phone system. Patients call TPT free - anytime, anywhere. Healthcare providers reduce treatment costs & cut waiting lists Overview of Innovation: TPT is a personalised, guided self-help psychological therapy delivered over the telephone in a range of pre-recorded modules for the treatment of mild to moderate anxiety-based mental health problems. It uses modern telephone technology to achieve vastly reduced costs with no waiting lists and is designed for use in NHS primary or secondary care settings. Easy to prescribe, easy to use TPT is available 'on prescription' to patients from their GP or other healthcare provider. The therapy can then be regularly accessed by the service-user making a simple free telephone call. An interactive, intelligent computer controlled telephone system using voice recordings of therapeutic scripts and questionnaires will then guide the service-user through a psycho-education, treatment and recovery programme that is responsive to the patient's individual presentation and circumstances. Patients will typically complete the programme in 8 to 12 weeks. Instant access Psycho-education, guidance and structured self-help for managing their condition are available to service-users wherever they are and at all times of the day and night. This immediacy of access is of particular benefit to patients with conditions that require help managing situational responses to emotional and environmental triggers or developing and maintaining impulse control strategies. Choice of treatment modules for different presentations A range of TPT modules is available for the treatment of different mild to moderate anxiety-based mental health problems such as generalised anxiety disorder, OCD and agoraphobia. Although each module is written with the specific presentation in mind there is a broad commonality of structure. A typical TPT module will have some of the following elements delivered by spoken scripts and using targeted questionnaires:

Prevention of Mental Ill Health
How do we prevent the development of mental health problems and get help earlier for people starting to suffer poor mental wellbeing?
See Additional Info
‘Prevention of Mental Illness’ is an aim that would have seemed remarkably aspirational even five years ago. However, in recent years there have been clear convergences from neurological, public health, economic and social psychiatry research that all demonstrate common causal and risk factors for mental illness. There are many practical questions that need to be considered and in order to go someway to providing answers the WMAHSN has completed this ‘prevention of mental illness’ review and developed an outline strategic plan - Prevention of Mental Illness – ‘Getting it Right First Time’
In addition we are working with a number of partners, including Birmingham's Mental Health System Strategy Board who Commissioned WMAHSN to develop a Prevention Strategy for the City. While this focuses on Birmingham & Solihull, we are looking for innovations that can improve the lives of people across the region and beyond.We are particularly looking for innovations that:
