About this service
Most patients treated by Westminster Older People Community Mental Health Team will have short-term mental health issues and after a period of weeks or months they will be referred back to their general practitioner (GP) when their condition has improved.
A small minority, however, who need specialist care will remain with the team for a longer period for ongoing treatment, care and monitoring.
For people who haven’t ever had any contact with one of our community services, referrals can be made by a GP, social services or other health professionals.
However, if people have had previous contact with the team, they are welcome to call us to discuss any difficulties or concerns they might have.
