Patient
Case study
After showcasing the incredible impact of the ‘Shine’ Wellbeing Prescription Programme within NPMC at the Best Practice Conference in October 2023, Dr Tayo Kufeji and his team of dedicated primary care staff joined forces with ShinyMind to deliver a 1-hour kickstart webinar on ‘Coping with Anxiety’ to patients with anxiety and depression, and those living with a long-term health condition (e.g. heart failure, COPD and fibromyalgia), of which 136 patients registered to attend. The added benefit of this webinar session was the presence and support of their own GP being in the virtual space with them, collectively increasing GP contact time to empower their wellbeing journeys.
- 100% of respondents felt the session helped them feel better
- 77% of respondents were likely to make changes because of the session
- 77% of respondents were likely to recommend the session to somebody they know
Over the last year we have been able to support our patients by offering them ShinyMind… In the Autumn of 2023, we were also able to offer our patients a mental health and wellbeing seminar, hosted by ShinyMind and delivered by lead psychotherapist, Bec Howard. This was an excellent webinar with lots of positive feedback and hopefully we can continue this in 2024. We have also started to embark on a group consultation model to further support patients with their mental wellbeing. – Dr Tayo Kufeji, GP, Newport Pagnell Medical Centre
Virtual group therapy can foster a sense of community and shared experience, providing sustainable peer support to a wider range of participants. There is strong evidence that virtual group therapy is as effective as one-to-one face-to-face therapy.
There is also evidence that momentary interventions (mobile and app based) and integrating motivational interviewing into therapy can further improve functioning and reduce symptoms, potentially being more impactive that traditional therapy for certain individuals.
With group therapy making up at most 5% of treatment, there is significant opportunity to support to more people than traditional therapy with virtual group and app-based support.
