How to request support from Psychological Health Services
How to request support from Psychological Health Services
We work with many healthcare teams across the Trust's
various sites. If you would like to see a psychologist, please ask
a member of your team (e.g. consultant, doctor, nurse,
occupational therapist, physiotherapist, speech & language
therapist) to contact us on your behalf. If there is a psychologist
working in that specialty, the healthcare professional will be able
to request support from Psychological Health Services.
If there is not a psychologist in the specialty, the healthcare
team may be able to signpost you to further sources of support. For
example, they may suggest you seek support from your GP or obtain
help through work, college or school.
For general advice and support, whatever you (or your child's)
health condition, please see our page of recommended
resources. This page includes a number of specially
written toolkits designed to offer information and
support for children, parents and adults going through treatment or
coming into hospital.

wrap around care for all children, young people and families
throughout their hospital journey:
