    Access this service

    Most of the referrals to the CMHT come from GP's to the Access and Assessment Team. Other professional agencies can also refer people.  

    Our Access and Assessment teams carry out a full assessment by clinical staff. They will explore a range of health and social care needs. The team can then signpost someone to available resources. The team can also then refer someone into the CMHT.
