The Neuropsychiatry Outpatient Team is a specialist service for people with a neuropsychiatric condition. This may be caused by a head injury or a condition such as Huntington’s disease.
The team can:
- assess your needs
- help you find other services that can support you
- provide short-term treatment and support.
We provide support in the community or at an outpatient clinic.
Our aim is to improve your quality of life and support your carers. For example, we may help you manage emotional or psychological distress.
We usually provide support for around six months. When your support with us ends, we work with other services and charities to help make sure you continue to receive the support you need.
How to get Referred
The team discusses new referrals at a weekly multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting.
Most referrals come from:
- consultant psychiatrists
- neurologists
- GPs
Referrals should be made to the team in writing.
If you would like to discuss a referral or have any questions about the service, please contact the team.
