BCPS averages around 60 contacts a month with colleagues across the UK from the NHS, Social Care, Education and Third sector. <\/p>\n

As a national service, we recognise the need to be accessible to colleagues, where they are considering referral or seeking feedback after treatment. <\/p>\n

We offer online referrer slots – see below. <\/strong><\/p>\n\t

Approximately 60 contacts per month; 58% with secondary care; an average of 45 minutes per day, across the team. <\/p>\n
