What is this service?
Primary Care Community Mental Health Teams (PCMHTs) provide assessments and short-term treatment for people needing mental health support. These teams were previously called Assessment and Liaison. They work closely with acute and crisis services, and mental health services in primary care to ensure that service users receive the right care at the right time.
Southwark has two Primary Care Community Mental Health Teams covering the north and south of the borough in alignment with Primary Care Networks.
