Patients that require mental health support in Furness General Hospital (FGH) can now benefit from Dedicated Mental Health Liaison Nurses on site, thanks to a partnership between University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust (UHMBT) and Cumbria Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT).

Prior to February 2016, mental health liaison was only available by hospital staff calling the Access and Liaison Integrated Mental Health Service (ALIS). This could cause delays in patients being seen as the team are not based in FGH.
