You will be offered an appointment in an outpatient clinic or at home depending on the needs assessed by the clinician.

Working hours

The team works  Monday to Friday, 08.30am until 4.30pm, excluding bank holidays. We are not an emergency service. Outside of these hours, or in an emergency, please contact your GP, NHS 111 or visit your local walk-in centre or urgent care centre.

How do we work?

When we have received your referral the team will allocate the most appropriate clinician to contact you for an assessment. This takes place during your initial appointment.  Your goals and treatment plans will be discussed and agreed with you. This may include referral to other members of the team/ other services if needed.

Your agreed goals will be reviewed and monitored through follow up appointments as necessary.

At the end of your treatment you will be discharged with an option of self-referral/referral from another clinician back to team as necessary.
