Quick Summary
New research from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London, in partnership with the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, has found that the introduction of remote consultations in primary care during the pandemic wasn't associated with an increase of psychiatric hospital admissions for people with anxiety, depression or severe mental illness.
