Mental health charities in England face immense pressure due to increasing patient referrals from GPs. Many of these charities rely on practitioners with unclear qualifications, tasked with managing severely ill patients. As access to proper mental health services remains limited, some GPs direct patients to unregulated services, often lacking the necessary oversight. Experts warn about the dangers of this approach, emphasizing that without proper vetting, it becomes challenging for patients to discern the qualifications of those offering care. The lack of regulation complicates the mental health landscape in England, endangering vulnerable individuals seeking help.
Mental health charities in England are overwhelmed by patient referrals, with unqualified practitioners treating serious cases, raising concerns about safety and effectiveness.
Desperate GPs refer patients to unregulated charities that employ inadequately qualified staff, risking the well-being of those seeking mental health support.
