The Pyscho-Social Support Teams (PST) are highly trained individuals who deploy overseas with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's (FCDO) Rapid Deployment Teams (RDTs) during crises to respond to events which have resulted in significant trauma and/or loss of life to British nationals. Recent deployments have been to the shootings in Tunisia, explosion in Beirut and Covid-19 cruise ship repatriation flights.
