Kahlo Ward – Acute Service for Women

Gender: Female

Age: 18+

Beds: 11

Kahlo Ward at Cygnet Hospital Woking is an 11 bed female mental health acute service. The service provides a safe and stabilising environment for women
who are experiencing an acute episode of mental illness and require an emergency admission.

The ethos of our service is about assessing and treating service users in the least restrictive environment and planning for discharge in a robust and timely fashion. With a focus on stabilisation, we support service users to manage their mental health, reinforce daily living skills and prepare for independent life back in the community.

Our team will work 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 multi-disciplinary team, contributing to shorter lengths of stay.
