Guide to Referring
One of the aims of our accessible assessment service is the rapid identification of suicide risk. Additionally, individuals suitable for our Primary Care Service and those with Mild-to-Moderate mental health difficulties with a low level of risk. General Practitioners are asked to continue referring, by phone or in writing, Moderate-to-Severe mental health presentations to either:
- Secondary Care Mental Health Services, Acute Unit, Roscommon Hospital (Fax No. 090 662 8182) or
The table below provides a guide on referrals to APSI:
