The Physical Health Psychology Department provides a psychological service to patients of George Eliot Hospital that are struggling to accept and come to terms with their condition/prognosis.
We support patients in coping with physical health conditions. This includes acute trauma, chronic illnesses and life limiting illnesses. We also maintain close links with professionals from services outside of the general medical field such as mental health and the voluntary sector.
Patients are seen in out-patient clinics and appointments are arranged via face to face sessions, phone sessions or virtual consultations. We accept referrals for patients who are under the care of a Consultant at George Eliot Hospital. This includes departments such as Oncology, Pain Management, Respiratory, Cardiac and other health conditions.
PLEASE NOTE: We are not currently funded to accept referrals for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,
