is a 90 bedded hospital split across two service lines – secure and rehabilitation and recovery. We cater to the treatment needs of male patients with a mental illness and/or personality disorder.

We have six wards including Low Secure and Locked Rehab for male service users only. Many of our patients have previously been in high, medium or low security. We aim to work collaboratively with our patients enabling them to take increasing responsibility for managing their own risks leading to a controlled and graded discharge. Where a patient requires greatest support, we offer contextual risk management, enhancing compliance and aim to improve their quality of life. We serve the patient, carers and visitors.

A higher profile is given to this patient group's physical healthcare, risk reduction and where required, mobility and daily living aids. The
