1) Out-patient adults on NHS

Adult out-patients with BDD are treated under the care of Dr David Veale at the Maudsley Hospitals Centre for Anxiety Disorders and Trauma. 
Referrals can be made to 
Dr David Veale, 
Centre for Anxiety for Anxiety Disorders and Trauma, 
99 Denmark Hill, 
London, SE5 8AZ.

Some GPs have "open access" (especially locally) but most people will require a referral from their local community mental health team and consultant psychiatrist or treating NHS therapist. Patients may be funded by their Primary Care Trust (PCT) or by the Department of Health if they fulfil criteria for being treatment refractory - this makes getting access easier. (See the website link in blue above for details)

2) Residential Unit adults on NHS

For the residential unit, patients are under the care of Dr David Veale during their stay in an unstaffed house in the grounds of the Bethlem Royal Hospital. There is also a self-contained family flat. The average stay is up to 12 weeks.

Referrals are accepted on a national basis and usually need to be made by a consultant psychiatrist or treating NHS therapist of a community mental health team. Very few Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) allow open access by their GP for an assessment or for treatment. Patients may also be funded by the Department of Health if they meet treatment refractory criteria. These criteria and other referral information for the residential unit here.

The national service is especially suitable for those who have not made sufficient progress with CBT locally or where the local services are not developed. 
Referrals to:

Dr David Veale,
The Anxiety Disorders Residential Unit, 
Alexandra House, 
The Bethlem Royal Hospital,

Tel 020 8882 8191 Secretary Rowena Kendal).

Referrals will need be made by a consultant psychiatrist and the support of a Primary Care Trust. Patients may also be funded by the Department of Health if they meet treatment refractory criteria. 

4) Adolescent out-patient NHS
