The Wellbeing Service is not able to provide treatment for patients who have the following presentations or diagnoses:

Those requiring care co-ordination under care programme approach (CPA)

What happens if a patient worsens during treatment?
We will share our concerns with the person, their GP and our secondary care colleagues in the Neighbourhood Mental Health Teams and/or the Mental Health Rapid Response Service, in order to support the person's safety. We will let you know if the person is transferred to another service.
