All referrals are screened on the day of receipt by the Duty Mental Health Practitioner. Referrals which require further discussion are brought to the daily Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) meetings where a decision is made as to whether the patient requires assessment by the A & L team.Referrals are accepted and managed in accordance with the NICE four stage stepped care model for mood and anxiety disorders (NICE 2011). This ensures that for non-urgent referrals, recommended interventions have been tried within primary care before a referral is made to A & L services.
