All referrals into our service come via the Veteran’s Mental Health Transition, Intervention and Liaison Service (TILS).
TILS seek to increase the access to mental health services for veterans and members of the Armed Forces who are approaching discharge.
TILS consists of three elements:
-
Transition: the service works with the MoD to offer mental health support for Armed Forces veterans approaching discharge.
-
Intervention: personnel approaching discharge will have an assessment within two weeks of a referral, providing access to treatment and support from a care coordinator.
-
Liaison: patients that may benefit from NHS care will be referred to the services where they will receive appropriate support or treatment.
To access the service as a veteran, patients must be a resident in England, have served in the Armed Forces for a full day, be registered with a GP in England and be able to provide proof of their military service.
Anyone meeting the criteria can self-refer or request a referral from a health care professional or service charity.
