One in four adults and one in 10 children experience mental illness, and many more of us know and care for people who do.

We are here to help you.

You can book online or call the practice on 0191 420 0535 during our Opening Hours, to arrange an appointment to discuss your mental health needs, and ways you can get access to further support.

As part of the Primary Care Network, we have access to a mental health nurse both within the network and at Blaydon. In the near future we are hoping to add a counsellor to our services as well.

Alternatively, if you need to speak to a professional urgently at any time of day, call this NHS Mental Health Helpline: 0800 652 2867.
