Our liaison psychiatry team supports adults in general hospital settings who are experiencing mental health problems. 

Patients are usually seen after attending the Emergency Department or while staying on a hospital ward. 

We offer: 

  • specialist mental health assessments
  • advice, guidance and support for patients, families and carers

We also provide training for hospital staff. This helps to: 

  • improve understanding of mental health
  • reduce stigma
  • support early referral to specialist services

Who can use this service:

  • adults aged over 18 with a mental health emergency
  • young people aged 16 to 18 between 5pm and 8am (they will be assessed and directed to the right service on the next working day)
  • adult inpatients at Bassetlaw District General Hospital who develop mental or cognitive health problems during their stay
