Members of the armed forces based in Northern Ireland have access to military mental health services that follow the same model as those available in other parts of the United Kingdom. These are configured to provide community-based mental health care in line with national best practice, providing assessment and treatment in line with the guidelines and standards set by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Service Frameworks. Mental health care is available from a range of medical facilities, starting with local service primary care facilities. Where necessary, patients in Northern Ireland can be referred to the military operated Department of Community Mental Health (DCMH) at Lisburn, near Belfast, which provides out-patient mental health care. The DCMH mental health team comprises psychiatrists and mental health nurses, with access to clinical psychologists and mental health social workers. A wide range of psychiatric and psychological treatments are available, including medication, psychological therapies, and environmental adjustment where appropriate. In-patient care, when necessary, is provided in specialised psychiatric units under a contract with a partnership involving eight NHS mental health trusts.
