As an NHS Trust we strongly encourage and support vaccination as this remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients and service users when working on our healthcare settings.


This role involves assessment of patients presenting with mental health difficulties, a formulation of their needs and creative care planning to meet them working within a bio-psycho-social model.

The Hub provides integrated care to adults presenting with a broad range of mental health issues, drawn from a culturally and socio-economically diverse population.
