First Response- Mental Health Crisis Service

About the service

We offer crisis support 24 hours a day, seven days a week to people of all ages living in Bradford, Airedale, Wharfedale or Craven experiencing a mental health crisis. This service is for people of all ages living in Bradford, Airedale, Wharfedale or Craven. You do not have to have used any mental health services before to contact us. Trained professionals are just a phone call away. You can now also call 111 and select the mental health option.

If you, or someone you know, are at immediate risk, always call 999. However, if you have an urgent mental health need the First Response Crisis Service is available to all. When a First Response telephone assessment indicates the need for a face-to-face assessment, we will aim to see you within 4 hours.

What to expect

Once you call First Response a telecoach will answer and quickly assess your crisis mental health needs. They’re experienced to talk to people in distress and provide guidance to help you manage the situation and your feelings. They have information on all the health, social and voluntary services available to support you. They will refer or make an appointment if it is needed. They may decide you need urgent support. In this case they will ask a first responder from our team to visit you as soon as possible.First responders are mental health nurses and social workers. They visit you wherever you are in your time of crisis, at whatever time of day, sometimes with a member of the emergency services. They provide support to help you manage your feelings. Some can prescribe medication. First responders provide the best possible action for you at the time. They aim to keep you at home with support, working with you to develop a crisis management plan. If you are extremely unwell, they may recommend you are admitted to hospital.

Termination of Pregnancy

Lilac Clinic

What we do

We offer termination of pregnancy for women up to 14 weeks six days gestation. If you think you are further on in pregnancy we will be able to offer advice about where else to seek treatment. This will not be in Bradford.

If you are over 18, you do not have to see your GP in order to access the termination of pregnancy service, instead you can approach the Bradford Royal Infirmary Termination Service (The Lilac Clinic) who accept self-referrals.

If you are under 18, your GP or Locala need to refer you to The Lilac Clinic. The Lilac Clinic will also see and treat women with complex medical needs.

A special note on confidentiality

It is important for you to know that this is a confidential and discreet service. Access to your notes is strictly for health professionals directly involved with your care (though we will normally inform your GP unless you specifically request that we don’t).

The only exception to confidentiality would be if we felt your wellbeing was at risk.

Contact us

Contact us to arrange an appointment for a consultation regarding a termination of pregnancy (even if you just want help with your decision). The Lilac Clinic can normally see you within four working days. You have the option of contacting by:

BPAS

We are an independent healthcare charity which, for more than 55 years, has been advocating and caring for women and couples who decide to end a pregnancy.

Nearly all of the women we see have their care paid for by the NHS. We are the leading specialists of abortion advice and treatment in the UK, taking care of more than 100,000 women each year in over 55 reproductive healthcare clinics nationwide.

In addition to abortion advice and treatment we provide pregnancy testing, counselling, Sexually Transmitted Infection screening, contraception, and vasectomy through our network of reproductive healthcare centres. We also provide specialist contact centre services to the NHS such as Central Booking Services to speed up access to abortion treatment across a range of NHS and agency providers.

Our service is respected for its quality of care, delivered by highly trained staff who are sensitive and non judgemental. Our registered charity number is 289145 under our full name ‘British Pregnancy Advisory Service’. All income generated from our services is invested in UK services and advocacy work
