MedNet provides doctors and dentists who are working in the area covered by the London Deanery with practical advice about their career, emotional support should they need it, and if appropriate, access to brief or longer term psychotherapy. It operates on the basis of strict confidentiality.
After referral an assessment of up to 6 sessions is offered. Following this, a conclusion will be reached about what further action would be appropriate to help with the difficulties. This might include a referral; subject to capacity, low frequency psychodynamic psychotherapy might be offered by clinical staff of MedNet themselves.
The service of MedNet is free of charge to the user. As MedNet is extensively audited, every user is expected to participate in this process by filling out some questionnaires at different times in the process.
The clinical work at MedNet is undertaken by three Consultant Psychiatrists in Psychotherapy: Dr Antony Garelick (Associate Dean) and Dr Matthias von der Tann. The clinical work of MedNet South, which is part of the service, is undertaken by Dr Julia Bland.
The Administrator and secretary of MedNet is Chris Loizou.
Contact with MedNet is possible either in writing or by telephone.
