If you are a Middlewood patient that is over 18 years of age, you can self-refer by filling out the form below. External agencies and healthcare professionals can also refer a patient via the form.
The Social Prescribing service is not a rapid response service. If you or someone you know is experiencing mental health difficulties, or is in crisis outside of the working hours of 7:30 am to 17:00 pm, please call the crisis number on 0800 145 6485 to access support.
If you are not aged over 18, your referral will be rejected.
We do our best to make initial contact within 3 working days of receiving your referral, this may be longer during holiday periods.
