About this service
Liaison psychiatry bridges the gap between physical and mental healthcare.
Our services provide mental healthcare to people being treated for physical illness in general hospitals, whether they attend out-patient clinics, are admitted to inpatient wards or or present to the A&E department. The co-occurrence of mental and physical health problems is common among these patients, often leading to poorer health outcomes, delayed discharges and increased use of healthcare resources.
Referrals are made through the general hospital by a health professional.
