Specialist Services

Unfortunately cases do arise when mission partners return to the UK unwell or having experienced a critical incident or traumatic event. Our specialist services aim to ensure that in these cases, they are supported to full health after returning from challenging international work. 

Short Consultation

Short consultations are specifically designed for anyone returning from abroad who has symptoms such as fever or diarrhoea and who needs to be seen without delay. They last up to 20-25 minutes, address a particular health issue, and do not include a general examination and screening.

We aim to see anyone with a fever or if seriously unwell the day they phone in. We send out malaria tests with a rapid turn-around time and keep in touch with the individual until their problem is resolved.

Trauma Management Services

InterHealth’s Psychological Health team have considerable experience in supporting both organisations and individuals through disturbing experiences, critical incidents and traumatic events.

Our specialist training in trauma management and trauma psychology means that you can be confident that you are receiving the highest standard of support.

The team are experienced in working with people of different cultures. They will always listen to the ways in which the individual contextualises his or her distress and will work with respect and honour their perspective.

Personal Impact Review

Our Personal Impact Review provides a confidential service, through which individuals who have either directly experienced a critical incident or traumatic event, or who have been working with those in situations of considerable trauma. They can be provided with a safe and secure space to discuss their experiences. Personal Impact Reviews are always followed up with subsequent appointments if necessary, or alternatively via email support.

Telephone back-up for agency staff

In addition to supporting the individuals involved, organisations may also access advice and back-up by telephone, supporting them to manage incidents which impact on Psychological Health. This may help to allow people to come to terms with things in their own way, promoting their recovery with reduced need for professional psychological interventions.
