Accessing Help in a Crisis
If at any point you find yourself in a moment of crisis or feel like you could be a danger to yourself or others, we strongly advise you seek emergency care.

The below services are able to provide round the clock support, should you or a loved one need it.
Crisis and Emergencies
If you or someone else is in danger, call 999 or go to A&E now, where there will be an on-call Psychiatric Liaison team who, if needed, can;
- make an initial assessment of your mental health needs (sometimes called a psychiatric evaluation)
- help keep you safe for the short-term
- prescribe medication to help you cope with symptoms you may be experiencing right now
- put you in contact with other crisis services, such as your local crisis team (CRHT)
- decide whether you can go home, or if you need to be admitted to hospital
This team can then liaise with your Sloane Court Clinic doctor/s as needed, and we can work together on a plan to help you in the long-term.
24-hour Advice & Support
You can also access 24-hour advice and support via the Samaritans (by calling 116 123 – a free call number) or via a specialist NHS urgent mental health helpline: https://www.nhs.uk/service-search/mental-health/find-an-urgent-mental-health-helpline
