Information for Service Users
Welcome Guide
We understand that for some people coming into hospital can be a confusing and stressful experience. At Cygnet Hospital Kewstoke we want your admission to be as straightforward and stress free as possible. To help with this we have worked with our service users to produce a Welcome Guide which will explain about life at Cygnet Hospital Kewstoke. The Welcome Guide is designed to give you a high level view of life at Cygnet Hospital Kewstoke.
We hope that you like what you see in the guide and if you do choose to come into Cygnet Hospital Kewstoke we will provide you with more detailed information about your new ward.
Service User Involvement
In recent times increasing emphasis is being put on encouraging and empowering service users to take a more active role in their own care. As part of our strategy to achieve this we have instigated a regular monthly 'Have Your Say Forum' which includes nominated service users from each ward.

Activities & Group Projects
This section of our website is dedicated to the service users at Cygnet Hospital Kewstoke. We want to celebrate and showcase the activities of our service users, whether it be in participating in group projects, individual artistic endeavours or even getting involved in wider hospital activities such as the 'Have Your Say Forum'.
We believe that it is hugely beneficial for the morale and confidence of our service users to have some recognition through their creative work which in turn helps us to help them on their path to recovery.
