CAMHS

Working together with young people and their families.

Our CAMHS is a Trauma Informed Care Service, ensuring that everything we do is driven by an understanding of how trauma affects the whole person; physically, mentally and socially. We provide low and medium secure Tier 4 CAMHS inpatient services, with the objective of enabling young people to live well and to their full potential in the least restrictive environment possible.

ASD and LD

Our aim is to provide high-quality assessment, care and treatment, helping patients to progress to the least restrictive setting by equipping them with the skills required to live as independently as possible, closer to communities of their choosing.

Our teams are multi-disciplinary with extensive knowledge, skills and experience of working with individuals with ASD and learning disability. We include patients in planning their care, valuing and embracing each and every individual’s unique qualities.

Low Secure and Specialist Rehabilitation

Our aim is to provide high-quality assessment, care and treatment, helping patients to progress to the least restrictive setting by equipping them with the skills required to live as independently as possible, closer to communities of their choosing.

Our teams are multi-disciplinary, with extensive knowledge, skills and experience of working with individuals with:

• Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD) with co-morbid Disordered Eating
• Mental illness for male/ female adults and older adults
• PICU treating acute admissions to stabilise and step down to a low secure environment

We include patients in planning their care, valuing and embracing each individual’s unique qualities.

Our teams use compassion to be inclusive, motivated, open and honest.  We are focused on outcomes and value by driving continuous improvements for our patients and treating everyone with equal respect, trust and dignity.

Medium Secure

The Medium Secure Mental Health Division provides mental healthcare to adult (including older adults) males and females, across a spectrum of specialist mental disorders: mental illness, personality disorder, borderline or mild learning disability, acquired brain injury, mental disorder and deafness.

We provide care to those who need the relational, physical and procedural security of a medium secure unit, in line with the National Medium Secure Specifications from NHS England (170042S).

We are also providing a Blended Secure Service for Women as part of a national pilot and meeting a draft service specification linked to the main medium secure service specification.

Our aim is to help patients recover so they can be treated in lower levels of security and eventually the community.
