Mental Health Practitioners & Support Workers
Our Aim
We aim to provide an early response to those patients who are experiencing
mental health difficulties and look to treat, support, signpost and, where
needed, refer on to a more appropriate service
We can speak to:
· Any patient 18 or over who feels they have a mental
health difficulty.
· Any patient registered at Bradworthy Surgery,
Hatherleigh Medical Centre, Holsworthy Medical Centre,
Neetside Surgery and Stratton Medical Centre. We hold
clinics at each of these centres.
· Patients experiencing a mental health crisis.
We do not generally accept:
· Someone who is already under a Community Mental
Health Team. Patients should contact their Care
Coordinator/Duty Desk in that team.
