Chamberlain Ward is our 12 bed male PICU at Cygnet Hospital Stevenage which accepts emergency and crisis admissions. Referrals are accepted from all areas, including acute and prison services. Our aim is a short, rapid intervention to help service users regain a sense of control and order in their lives, so they can move to a less restrictive care setting and ultimately return home.
The service provides expert, intensive, short-term, individualised care for service users detained under the Mental Health Act. Individuals will present with increased risks that require them to be assessed and treated in a PICU environment.
