HOSMS Mental Health Team

The PCN Mental Health Team aims to promote positive mental health and to support individuals to move from surviving to thriving, using a goal setting approach to help you feel in control of your own health and wellbeing. The service will explore your mental health, general health, wellbeing, lifestyle factors and any barriers that may be preventing you from moving forward in your health and wellbeing journey.

Throughout the past 12 months in particular we recognise that many people may be struggling for a number of different reasons, redundancy, illness, financial issues, housing, relationships, the loss of a loved one and so much more can impact our wellbeing. The PCN Mental Health team can support you with any of these concerns and assist you to help find the best support for your unique situation. 

The service is available to patients of the HOSMs PCN practices. Currently patients can be referred to the service via a clinician at their own practice.
