Assertive Outreach Service - City and Hackney

The Assertive Outreach Service (AOS) is a community-based service for people with severe and enduring psychotic illness who have proven difficult to engage within existing services and who present a high risk to themselves or others.

AOS also provides specialist services for the management and care of mentally disordered offenders and those returning from higher security.

AOS works to the patient's agenda and in their chosen environment, providing a service seven days a week and operating extended hours on week days.
