Primary Care Mental Health Network (Hull)

Definition/Description

Practices can refer to PCMHN teams who can review referrals where the pathway of the support a patient requires is unclear. PCMHN teams can complete an assessment for individuals who would benefit from another, non-directly bookable person, within the PCMHN (i.e Social Worker/Clinical Associate Psychologist), or refer on to another mental health service which is more appropriate to meet the needs of the patient.

Red Flag Symptoms

Urgent Referrals which require same day response or a response within 72 hours or requiring higher level clinical interventions should be referred to the Crisis Team

Guidelines on Management

Severe presentations which are complex and with increased risk would be more suitable for Secondary Mental Health care services (MHTAT/Crisis Team).
