Research summary
Depression and anxiety are common problems and a major cause of disability in the UK.
Most people with these conditions are managed in primary care and will be offered a variety of options depending on the severity of symptoms, local service availability and personal preference.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a new treatment pathway designed to optimise the patient experience without increasing the cost burden. It uses new technologies to help patients identify and engage with support, manage symptoms and monitor response.
It will be conducted at a single GP surgery in the City of Nottingham and will run for six months.REC name
