The Psychedelic Therapies Reimbursement Challenge

As psychedelic therapies near regulatory approval in Europe, a pressing question arises: How will patients access these treatments through the NHS in the UK? This presentation examines the journey from NICE evaluation to NHS adoption, addressing unique challenges such as therapy-drug combination costs, infrastructure demands, and therapist training. Drawing on case studies and stakeholder insights, we explore practical solutions to ensure equitable access. A vital discussion for clinicians, researchers, and advocates working to integrate these transformative therapies into the UK healthcare system.
