From Talking Changes to NHS Durham and Darlington Talking Therapies for anxiety and depression: new name, same service
This is part of a national rebranding exercise, where all IAPT services will use the same name across the country by the end of 2023. As a result of this change, Talking Changes is being renamed NHS Durham and Darlington Talking Therapies, from Friday 5 May.
NHS Talking Therapies has been voted the most accessible name, and the easiest one to understand, by a wide range of NHS staff, charities, patients and the general public. It will be accompanied with a tagline ‘for anxiety and depression’, to provide clarity on what conditions the service is for and to support appropriate referrals.
The name may be changing but the service stays the same. This change doesn’t affect the teams or the care they provide.
The Talking Changes website will also remain accessible by using the current URL address – this will stay in place for the next few months.
