GPs can refer patients to the Community Treatment Team (CTT), which provides short-term, intensive care and support to people aged 18 and older who are experiencing an urgent health and/or social care crisis.
The community-based service works across Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge, both in the community and with local A&E departments, to prevent unnecessary hospital admissions.
If GPs wish to discuss a case, they can contact the lead nurse on 07808 364472 (please note: this number should only be used by qualified health professional, and must not be shared with patients).
Please see the leaflet for more information about the CTT.
