Urgent Care and Assessment TeamThe Urgent Care and Assessment Team works to ensure that a responsive assessment is provided by our multi-disciplinary team. This may result in an urgent short term work either as a home treatment, on an individual basis in Primary Care, or through psychological based group work.
