OpCourage

Mental health matters, which is why we’re working with OpCourage, the NHS’s service for veterans suffering with poor mental health. We hope that with this service, we can help reach veterans across our PCN who have struggled with their mental health as well as helping families of veterans to support their family better.

To get in touch, please call 0300 323 0137 or email mevs.mhm@nhs.net. Referrals can come from professionals or self referrals.

When this service is used, the patient will be spoken to by a healthcare professional and then either referred for a full assessment or referred to other services, depending on what the patient needs.

OpCourage will also be referring into some of the PCN’s services such as health and wellbeing coaches, social prescribing link workers, care coordinators and Mental Health practitioners for lower level needs.
