For NHS commissioners & service leads

The evidence, the economics, and the governance.
In one place.

Boundless has been evaluated against standard care in NHS settings. These are published figures, not marketing: better recovery, fewer sessions, and a saving that lands inside the same financial year.

Numbers that stand up to a sceptical commissioner.

The impact is undeniable. NICE has stated that CBT should be adapted for neurodiverse children. After seeing these numbers, we’d argue it should be adapted for everyone.

74%
reliable recovery

Against 52.6% for standard care. More clients get genuinely better, and stay better, when the situations they avoid are faced with XR therapy.

91%
show improvement

Of clients show positive improvement across a course of treatment, measured with standard clinical outcome tools.

4-8
sessions, rather than 18+

Clients typically reach their goals in four to eight sessions, against eighteen or more under standard care.

Year one
return on investment

Boundless returns its cost within the same calendar year, and the saving compounds from there.

£1,025 saved per young person
in year one alone

Roughly ten therapy sessions returned to the service for the next person on the waiting list.

113
fewer treatment courses, per 100 young people

Capacity released back into the service in year one, alongside a 7.0 QALY gain.

A CAMHS service saves over £1,025 per young person in year one.

That is the conservative, year one figure. It is roughly ten therapy sessions saved per young person, freeing clinician time and treatment courses for the next person on the waiting list.

And it gets better. Over five years the saving rises to £2,661 per young person, with a 20.35 QALY advantage per 100. At that point Boundless is the cheaper option and the better one.
