Why choose Happy Clinic

Happy Clinic is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Happy Clinic provides online, telepsychiatry services through their dedicated website and app, delivered by specialist and qualified Doctors.

What is Telepsychiatry?

Telepsychiatry is the practice of psychiatry through a secure internet connection in which the patient in their own home or a location of their choosing is linked to a Psychiatrist in his or her office, made possible through video chatting applications and technology.

A Problem worth Solving…

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), one in every four people develops some form of mental disorder at some point in their life.

Inadequate provision and quality of services

Despite the vast majority of adults with mental health problems being managed in primary care, GPs are limited in their ability to provide optimal mental health care because of pressure on consultation times and high workload levels.

The Opportunity

There is a clear need and demand for a high-quality, professional, effective and affordable telepsychiatry service that a patient can access on their terms and within their budget.

The Benefits

Happy Clinic is very excited about the future of telepsychiatry, and believes that psychiatry is uniquely suited to being delivered online. Unlike other specialities of medicine, there is no need to physically touch patients to diagnose or treat medical disorders, making psychiatry the most ideal speciality for an online consultation setting. Happy Clinic's telepsychiatry services have benefits for everyone involved, including patients, their families and Psychiatrists themselves.

There are multiple benefits to telepsychiatry, including

• It resolves and removes geographic barriers, enabling people in even the most remote of places to see a qualified Consultant Psychiatrist.
• It offers convenience, as patients do not have to leave their home to see a Psychiatrist, with no more waiting in the reception of an NHS or private hospital.
• It saves time, with no more time wasted travelling to a hospital to see a Psychiatrist.
• It reduces cost, as Happy Clinic's telepsychiatry service is cheaper than those provided by most private hospitals and even other UK online providers.
• It improves access to psychiatry care for everybody across the UK.
• It offers an increased choice of Consultant Psychiatrists for patients to choose from, based on specialisms and expertise.

Services

Happy Clinic will enable patients to overcome issues, anxieties and barriers, and to regain their mental health and wellbeing through the provision of a wide range of psychiatry services delivered online from the comfort of their own homes.
