Introduction

The Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Data Set  (IAPT) has been developed to support the Adult Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Programme  through a regular national return of data. This includes for example: supporting commissioning, service improvement and service design.

The Adult Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Programme  is an NHS programme in England, which started in 2008, that has transformed treatment of anxiety disorders and depression through the delivery of interventions approved by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence  (NICE).

The Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Data Set  is a PATIENT level, output based, secondary uses data set which aims to deliver robust, comprehensive, nationally consistent and comparable information for  PATIENTS accessing NHS-funded Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Services located in England.

These national definitions allow Health Care Providers to extract data from their local systems in a consistent manner, which supports national and local reporting to be undertaken.
