The North Newcastle PCN has two mental health practitioners, one who works with children and young people up to the age of 25, and one who works with patients from 26-65 years of age.
They offer assessment to people who are struggling with any aspect of their emotional/mental health. Following assessment, they will be able to either provide additional support or signpost to the most appropriate service/intervention.
If you feel that you would like to speak to the mental health nurse either for yourself or for a young person in your family, please submit an online consultation request via your practice website or contact your GP surgery reception to ask for an appointment. Please state the reason why you would like to be seen and the best telephone number to call you on and an appointment will be arranged.
In a mental health emergency, please contact the all-age crisis team on 0800 0328 728. This is for adults and young people and is staffed 24/7.
