While the NHS has diverted efforts into managing Covid-19, we want to ensure the UK’s mental health service is supported.
With normal pathways to treatment likely to be disrupted, Ieso is open, increasing online therapy capacity, and here to help partners and patients.
Our CEO, Nigel Pitchford’s letter to partners reinforces that we are not only open and treating our patients as normal, but we are here to help as demand for mental healthcare increases. In a time when people need mental healthcare more than ever before, our key priority is to continue delivering a high-quality service and help as many people get access to the treatment they need - all from the safety of their homes.
As many more people acknowledge they are feeling low due to the extraordinary circumstances we are living through, you may think that what you are feeling is normal or that your symptoms are not severe enough to get support. Our Chief Clinical Officer, Sarah Bateup writes to reassure that this is not the case, and encourages those who are feeling distressed, anxious or depressed, to reach out for help.
