Background
People can endure weeks or months waiting for therapy, crisis support or medication review, worsening distress which can leading to preventable emergencies or hospital admissions. We believe zero-wait self-referral hubs with peer support and on-site medication reviews could provide immediate, trauma-informed care, reduce A&E pressures, and ensure safer, more effective treatment.
