Living with a mental illness can be a challenging and upsetting time which often impacts significantly on the quality of life of both the person suffering and their loved ones.
The traditional process of GP referral to a Psychiatrist, and depending on the severity of the episodes, hospitalisation is beginning to change as medical professionals accept the stress that taking patients outside of their home and comfort zones can cause.

“I ran my own private practice in Harley Street, London, for many years and found it incredibly difficult to provide an environment for my patients that was nurturing, personal and gave them the individual support they needed. I believe there’s no greater environment for treatment and care than in your own home. This is where the BREVIN journey begins.”
