The SMHLS offers a comprehensive range of mental health specialties within one multi-disciplinary team so that all patients, regardless of age, with a suspected or actual mental health problem can be assessed, treated, signposted, or referred appropriately regardless of age, presenting complaint, time of presentation or severity.
