The ward provides assessment and treatment for women experiencing a mental health crisis who require an emergency admission.
Our team works closely and collaboratively with service users, their families and the referrer to provide a seamless pathway from referral to discharge. Our approach is recovery focused and supported by a comprehensive multidisciplinary team, contributing to shorter lengths of stay.
We also benefit from a highly specialised personality disorder service on site, and can offer a pathway for women that may require an extended therapy programme.
“Staff are friendly, caring and supportive always, The staff have always been amazing in helping me progress towards discharge. The morning meetings and talking
