We have recently completed a number of developments that have been carefully planned to meet the diverse needs of service users and commissioners in an ever changing healthcare environment, whilst at the same time vastly enhancing the service provision at Cygnet Hospital Stevenage. These include:
- Cygnet Hospital Stevenage now offers a symmetrical male and female care pathway, over six wards, working across three levels; Medium Secure - Low Secure - Locked Challenging Behaviour
- Substance Misuse Programme - Dedicated substance misuse therapists will assess all admissions for our substance misuse programme and provide reports at all professional meetings
- Service users who may have personality disorder issues can benefit from our DBT and Schema Focus therapies provided on all six wards. This is designed to supplement the wide range of therapies already provided from a vast therapy team
- A vocational and training programme provides work experience and qualification to services users, who may leave with NVQs in housekeeping, catering, horticulture and a range of other skills. This vastly increases self esteem and provides a real opportunity to become a valued member of the workforce

Facilities and care
At Stevenage we combine comfort and privacy with strong physical security arrangements. Service users have their own room with en-suite shower, and each ward has a large open lounge with television and DVD player, and access onto a courtyard. There is a separate quiet lounge, also with a television.
Facilities include a vocational café, large gym offering five-a-side football, basketball and table tennis, and a well-equipped exercise room. Activities for service users who are granted Section 17 leave include gardening at our off-site allotment, ten-pin bowling or day trips.
Everyone has a primary nurse who develops an ongoing relationship with them. We use this relationship as the basis for other members of our multi-disciplinary team of psychiatric, medical, teaching and support specialists to add their individual skills. We tailor the therapy programme for each person, sensitively taking into account their individual needs.
