Digital Therapy Services Partnership

On receipt of your referral, we will consider whether or not a specialist mental health service may be the most appropriate service. If an appointment is offered this will be prioritised based on the presenting need.

We work in partnership with digital therapy services who offer online assessment and treatment to some of our patients who are able to access their care via video calls. To help reduce the wait for our service, your referral may be passed to our partner organisation, Xyla Digital Therapies. After we have reviewed your referral, Xyla may contact you directly to book your appointment. For further information about how we manage your personal information, please refer to our Privacy Notice. If you have any questions or wish to opt out of receiving treatment from Xyla, please call us on 0300 002 0060 or email spft.bhwellbeing@nhs.net.
