Quote from a member of staff
'I enjoy working closely with GP colleagues to facilitate appropriate care for patients and provide a link between the GP surgery and secondary mental health services, knowing that these fields have occasionally felt like very separate and distinct parts of healthcareI am passionate about this new way of supporting patients at the front door, reducing waiting times for people in distress and easing pressure on mental health teams and services'.
