Mental Health Practitioners are part of new health and wellbeing services in NHS surgeries
Hear from Mental Health Practitioner Helen Miller who explains how people in this role help residents of Nottinghamshire and Nottingham. The service offers specialist support by:
• carrying out assessments.
• providing advice and support to manage your condition.
• supporting you to access mental health services and community resources.
*New services from General Practice Teams*
These are just two of over 400 healthcare professionals recruited for local general practice surgeries since April 2019, working alongside GPs, Nurses and Healthcare Assistants. It’s part of the NHS Long Term Plan to personalise care and provide the right services, at the right time, in the right place.
Having a range of professionals at your general practice means you receive the most appropriate care as quickly as possible. You can often see these specialists straight away. For an appointment, just check your Practice website or discuss your needs with Practice staff.
