Following the initial success of a pilot programme in East London and Wiltshire, SANE is expanding its dedicated professional telephone helpline nationally. Professionals will have access to a national database including information on: statutory, voluntary and independent mental health services; illnesses and symptoms; medication, treatments and side-effects; psychological treatments and other therapies; mental health law; prisons and mental health; and the Disability Discrimination Act. SANE's Professional Line is staffed by trained professionals, who will also provide access to experts throughout the UK prepared to discuss cases with fellow professionals. Many are specialists in particular fields. SANE's professional line is open from 9.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m., Monday to Friday, and 12 noon to 9.00 p.m. at weekends: tel.: 0906 558 5858 (calls are charged at the premium rate, currently £1.00 per minute).
