Psychological Health Services
At times, it can be hard for patients and their families to
adjust to hospital treatment, investigations and procedures
and to balance these things with other aspects of life, like school
or work. Psychological Health Services across the Trust aim to
support patients by making difficult feelings easier to understand
and manage. Find out more.
