Kingfisher Ward – Acute Service for Men

Kingfisher Ward lounge

Gender: Male

Age: 18+

Beds: 16

Kingfisher Ward is our new 16 bed acute mental health service for men. The service provides a safe and stabilising environment for individuals who are experiencing an acute episode of mental illness and require an emergency admission.

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

Our team 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.
