Psychiatric Liaison

We provide psychiatric assessments for patients in Dorset County Hospital, the Royal Bournemouth Hospital and Poole Hospital.

Our specialist teams, which include psychiatrists and mental health nurses, are based in the hospitals and take referrals from their emergency (A&E) departments and acute admission units (AAUs).

We also provide advice, assistance and psychiatric opinions/diagnosis of patients in hospital wards, as required. Our aim is ensure all patients have access to mental health care and support should they need it.
