We recognise the importance of supporting both physical health and emotional wellbeing and understand that medical conditions and hospital admission can have a significant impact on mental health. The trust provides a range of mental health specific assessment, care and treatment within the hospital and works closely with Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, the local mental health provider, to ensure patients’ mental health needs are appropriately identified, assessed, and supported. Patients receiving care from specialist hospital teams may also be offered access to additional mental health support where appropriate. If you are concerned about your mental health or wellbeing, your GP is usually the first point of contact. Further information about local mental health services is available below.
