Patients we see
Women and birthing people who are experiencing moderate to severe mental health difficulties because of perinatal loss and/or trauma. Referrals should be made from at least one month following the loss to allow for natural healing to begin to take place.
Referrals to the MMHS team will be accepted from:
- Community mental health or Crisis teams
- Consultant obstetricians and gynaecologists
- Consultant psychiatrists
- General practitioners
- Health visitors
- Midwives
- NHS Talking therapies
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept self-referrals.
We are also unable to accept referrals for people in crisis as we are a therapy service without an MDT. These referrals should be directed to the Crisis Team.
Referrals should be made using the standardised referral form and emailed to dhcft.perinatalcmht@nhs.net
