The service provides a safe and stabilising environment for men who are experiencing an acute episode of mental illness and require an emergency admission.
The service works collaboratively with service users, families and external health professionals to provide a clear pathway to discharge.
Victoria Ward also benefits from specialist in-reach from neighbouring Cygnet St William’s, to support men with an acquired brain injury who require acute care, but present with behavioural challenges.
