Our partners
At the centre, we work alongside Dr. PA who are the main healthcare providers at Campsfield IRC.
Referrals
Any detainee can refer themselves to the service (‘self-refer’) and referrals are open to third parties. If a staff member or third party refers a detainee, we will assess them if they agree to engage. All residents are seen as part of their induction.
We largely meet our service users once they have had healthcare appointments with nurses or doctors. We also receive referrals from the security department where there is a reasonable suspicion that detainees are using substances or where they have tested positive for unauthorised substances.
