This GP education session is being delivered as part of the CPTH GP Education Programme. It is open to GPs and ACPs working in Primary Care in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
This month we will be joined by Dr Emma Tiffin for an update on the Cambridgeshire ADULT mental health service offer and how to access these services. This will include both NHS and voluntary sector services and local resources that can be used by primary care to support and advise patients with mental health needs.
This event is taking place via Zoom. Once booked, you will find the zoom link in your booking confirmation email.
