South West

The Mental Health Liaison Team is a multi-disciplinary service, providing safe and effective short term interventions for patients with mental health needs within a general hospital environment. During the COVID-19 pandemic the service has faced a significant increase in demand and the biggest referral rate in its history. The MHLT adapted to the circumstances and met the needs of this vulnerable patient group, creating innovative ways to meet the demand in collaboration with all partner organisations. The team feels honoured to have been considered for this award.
