    Working for our organisation

    SloMo is a digitally supported, cognitive-behavioural therapy for psychosis that improves fear of harm from others (or paranoia). It works by targeting fast thinking habits and encouraging slow thinking, supporting people to find ways of feeling safer and living well. The SloMo2 study will investigate if SloMo therapy can be delivered in real world settings, by conducting a clinical investigation of its implementation, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness in three NHS Trusts.

    SloMo consists of 11 sessions with a therapist, with delivery supported by an online therapy platform. This is synchronized with a mobile app, which assists management of worries in daily life. The SloMo software has been inclusively designed with people with lived experience of paranoia in psychosis, selected to be representative of our local communities. In our large, multi-centre RCT, SloMo was found to be efficacious, and highly engaging and deliverable, with improvements demonstrated in paranoia, worry, self-concept, quality of life and wellbeing, which were sustained over 6 months (Garety et al, 2021; Greenwood et al, 2021; Hardy et al, 2022; Ward et al, NICE recently recommended SloMo for use in the NHS whilst data is generated to address evidence gaps and inform future guidance (NICE, SloMo2 will investigate if the benefits identified in the SlowMo RCT can be translated to routine care. An automated training package to support further NHS spread will also be developed.
