Psychiatric Liaison Services Review
The NHS in Dorset is currently reviewing psychiatric liaison services. As part of that process, the views and experiences of people who use and provide these services are key.
We would like you to talk to us about how things are for you and any ideas about how they can be better.
What is a Psychiatric Liaison service?

- To ensure that our services are delivered in the best possible way
