The Southwark Assertive Outreach and Rehabilitation Team (AORT) has been created to support recovery based outcomes for the most unwell patients in the borough, and has been well resourced with medical, psychological, OT and senior nursing staff in order to provide excellent care.
The team consists of three sub-teams, two of which provide mental health
care for individuals in Southwark residential placements. The third sub-team supports patients living in independent accommodation who have high needs, are difficult to engage, or have frequent admissions to hospital.
A key aim of the service is to prevent admission to hospital as well as to promote recovery in those with severe and enduring mental illness.

- A severe and enduring mental disorder with significant impact on functioning
- A history of being admitted to hospital/HTT frequently or for long periods
