What we provide
With a specialised multi-disciplinary team and excellent staff to patient ratios we offer high quality individualised care including:

- A containing environment with 1:1 support as necessary.
- Treatment for patients detained under the Mental Health Act.
- Naso-gastric feeding on the unit without needing to transfer the patient, where this is appropriate.
- A stepped care approach including a flexible day service with access to the therapeutic group programme.
- Day treatment can be tailored to the individual patient, eg allowing them to return part-time to work or study, whilst having intensive support with eating and individual therapy as well as occupational therapy, family therapy and group work.
- Day treatment can vary from one intensive day a week, to 5-7 days including three main meals and snacks.
- The day programme with overnight stays can be offered in certain circumstances for patients who live a long distance away.
- Family therapy, couple therapy and support for family and friends including a regular weekend group.
