    The Adult Psychological Support Service (APSS), in which Liaison Psychiatry is based, provides an integrated Level 3 and 4 service (NICE 2004) to patients across the two sites of the hospital for inpatients, those receiving ambulatory care and outpatients. Other pathways within the service are: directive therapies (e.g. CBT/ Third Wave approaches, EMDR); exploratory therapies (e.g. integrative, existential, psychodynamic); family therapy (primarily working with adult patients with dependent children, and young adult patients); psychosexual therapy.

    The Liaison Psychiatry pathway has three main functions: (i) to provide the general liaison psychiatry service to the inpatient wards of the hospital, (ii) to support the APSS Duty Clinician, and (iii) to provide psycho-oncology psychiatry through pre-planned outpatient and day patient appointments.

    The specific psychiatric issues and associated risks in a specialist cancer hospital include hyperactive delirium, steroid-induced mania and psychosis, major depression, suicidal planning and intent, desire for hastened death; as well as people with pre-existing severe mental illness.

    Flu Vaccination – What We Expect of our Staff

    At The Royal Marsden we have an immune compromised patient population who we must protect as much as we can against the flu virus. Each year, seasonal flu affects thousands of people in the UK. Occurring mainly in winter, it is an infectious respiratory disease capable of producing symptoms ranging from those similar to a common cold, through to very severe or even fatal disease.

    The wellbeing of our staff and patients is of the upmost importance to us, and it is the expectation of The Royal Marsden that all patient-facing staff have an annual flu vaccination, provided free of charge by the Trust.
