Mental Health Hospitals

The hospital Group provides intensive and slow stream mental health rehabilitation (excluding psychiatric intensive care) and we aim to be compliant with the highest procedural and relational security standards as recommended by the Royal College of Psychiatrists.

Our hospitals are non acute units designed to provide rehabilitation and continuing care for people with severe and enduring mental illnesses who are judged to be too chaotic or unwell to tolerate the environment of a residential places in the community.

The hospital provides 24 hour nursing care, psychiatric treatment and rehabilitation, regular input from a multi disciplinary psychiatric team, with the patient under the day to day care of a psychiatric consultant (responsible clinician). Depending on the patient population, wards may be locked all the time or be lockable and have higher staff: patient ratios than an open ward (Re: NHS Costing Manual).
