Mental Health

Primary Care Mental Health Team

We now have our Primary Care Mental Health Team (PCMHT) working within the practice. They offer a small number of appointments each week.

Appointments with the PCMHT can only be booked by a GP so if you are struggling with your mental health then book an appointment with one of our GPs and they will refer you to the team if they feel it would be beneficial to you.
