Practitioner Health Programme
Practitioner Health is a free, confidential NHS primary care mental health and addiction service with expertise in treating health & care professionals.
The service can help with a range of mental health conditions and addictions in primary care settings.
Practitioner Health is a self-referral service, although in some circumstances they accept referrals from other organisations. The act of self-referral is key as this acknowledges recognition of need, preparedness to trust the service and willingness to engage in treatment.
