Hi,

Quick question, do PWP's as a rule treat Health Anxiety?

Thanks,

It should be High Intensity Therapists that treat Health Anxiety as per the stepped care model. PWP's can complete an assessment with a patient who is experiencing health anxiety but they should be stepped up and not treated at step 2.

Hope this helps!

Nope - should be step 3.

Our service will treat health anxiety at Step 2... Luckily we don't get that many of them! :/

That's so interesting Sam! Do you have additional training for treating health anxiety? We cannot treat it at step 2 in my service!

Yup, we treat health anxiety at Step 2 in my service also, both in guided and online through SilverCloud.

I wonder why my service doesn't.. possibly due to funding and commissioning.

Did you have additional training at university for this?

I trained in-house as a Graduate Mental Health Worker so I'm not sure what they do at the unis, sorry. I would imagine it depends on the course

In my service at Step 2 we do depression, GAD, panic, phobia, stress, health anxiety, OCD (v v simple/mild presentation), binge eating (ditto), and living with LTC.

So interesting! We do pretty much the same except health anxiety and binge eating! That sounds incredibly interesting though - I may raise this in my service. Thanks for the reply x

I'm currently working on an anger management GSH protocol which I'm ready to pilot too ^^ Good luck x

Anger management at Step 2?! That's amazing. Do you know whether there's much online about anger management GSH?

Thank you

Northumberland, Tyne & Wear NHS Foundation Trust have a good self-help guide for anger (and other things):
