Street Triage Service

The Street Triage Team is a joint service between Nottinghamshire Healthcare and Nottinghamshire Police.

We are here to help people who are having a mental health crisis and come into contact with the police. Our aim is to make sure people get the right help quickly and safely.

Since we started in 2014, our service has helped reduce the number of people detained under the Mental Health Act. We also help guide people to the most appropriate local support services.

Our service runs during the daytime as well as the evening:

• One day car operates from 8.30am to 5pm.
• Two evening cars operate from 4pm to 1am.

This means we can support more people when they need help.

Our specially trained mental health nurses work alongside police officers. We attend incidents across Nottinghamshire when someone needs urgent mental health support.

Our nurses can also give advice to police officers over the phone. This helps officers decide the best healthcare service to refer someone to.

Referrals to the Street Triage Team can only be made by the police.
