The Crisis Team

Crisis Response and Home Treatment Team in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire

The Crisis Team is a 7 day a week specialist team of staff who support people who are in acute mental crisis to prevent admission to hospital where possible and facilitate early discharge from inpatient wards with intensive home treatment.

The team is run by staff from health and social care including psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, peer support workers and administrators.

In Buckinghamshire we have teams based in Aylesbury (North) and High Wycombe (Chiltern—South). In Oxfordshire we have a team based in the Oxford City.  They are supported at night by the Night Response Teams in each locality.
