Description

It can take up to 5 years to get a first Mental Health appointment in some parts of the UK.

Large parts of this backlog are due to increase in demand, but Dr Melinda Rees, today's guest with Steve Roest, argues that administrative burden accounts for a huge amount.

Dr. Melinda Rees is CEO of Psyomics, an integrated healthtech and biotech company that is redesigning how we access and interact with mental health services at scale, to eliminate the backlog in appointments.

A 30 year NHS Mental Health clinician, Dr Melinda is perfectly positioned to comment on the crisis and provides a coherent, compelling vision for the future.
