Fighting climate change
The Platform is committed to reducing the environmental impact of operations, for example, in the areas of energy use and travel. There is a responsibility to help protect the environment, wherever we have an opportunity to do so.
We publish a formal Environmental Policy which is available to staff and clients upon request, and, as a fully distributed organisation, we’ve already lowered our environmental impact.
Promoting the use of technology to deliver services to patients via the Platform reduces the need for travel, optimises power use thus supporting climate change.Covid-19 recovery
The Platform supports an ongoing commitment to support all patients affected by Covid 19 into therapeutic recovery. Specifically, demonstrating effective outcomes in the following areas:
Supporting patients to find, remain or return to work in the event of redundancy, unemployment and/ or long-term sickness, as a direct effect of Covid 19.
Reducing symptoms of Social Anxiety, Agoraphobia, and panic, associated with prolonged periods of social isolation/staying at home, as a direct result of Covid-19.
Recovering from traumatic events (PTSD) associated with Covid -19, including symptoms of bereavement/loss.
Recovery from symptoms of OCD and Health Anxiety, associated with fears of illness/contamination, as a direct result of Covid 19.
Recovery from symptoms of depression associated with isolation, reduced activity/socialisation, and bereavement and loss, as a direct result of Covid 19.
Treatment of Long Covid mental health symptomology, provided by Dr Julian Therapists who have additional Long Term Conditions training.
Method Statement
The Platform provides therapeutic intervention for patients whose clinical presentation is either directly, or indirectly affected by the Covid -19 pandemic.Tackling economic inequality
In in such a high growth sector, the delivery of therapeutic services to a greater number of patients provides an array of opportunities. Such opportunities include the creation of new employment opportunities and resulting growth in regard to employment (FTE) in a variety of roles. For example but not limited to, IT development, IT support, administration (back end), delivery of therapeutic services and direct client and patient support services - employment growth directly facilitates the skills, competencies and capabilities development of new employees.
Additionally, business growth provides the opportunity to identify skills, competencies and capabilities gaps and training requirements across all levels of competency and role to allow further development of the skills, competencies and capabilities of existing staff, allowing in-work progression and career development within the company.
Growth also allows us to explore the possibility of expanding and diversifying the availability of service offerings to our clients to meet market demands.Equal opportunity
The delivery of services provided via the Dr Julian Platform provides all suitable patients with the opportunity to receive services irrespective of age, sex, race and other prejudices/preferences - all patients are treated similarly based upon diagnostic assessment and treatment needs.Wellbeing
The Platform provides a mechanism by which patients services can be delivered in an effective manner supporting therapeutic recovery and overall patient wellbeing.
