Cygnet Hospital Beckton
Cygnet Hospital Beckton is a psychiatric unit situated in East London, currently undergoing a £350,000 refurbishment.
The unit accepts emergency and planned, pre-assessed admissions onto our intensive care and rehabilitation wards.
The care provided is paramount to our nurse led services and you will find our multi-disciplinary teams dedicated to this ethos. Our goal is to ensure we care for all our patients so they are well enough to leave us as quickly as possible. Therefore, from the time of admission, our staff are already planning for their discharge by preparing Care Plans and assessments. Some patients are transferred back to their local NHS hospital if a bed becomes available. Others may remain at Cygnet until they can be discharged home with appropriate follow-up.

The hospital has 4 wards comprising:
- Female Low Secure Rehabilitation & Low Secure Complex Needs and/or Challenging Behaviour - 15 beds
- Male Low Secure Rehabilitation & Low Secure Complex Needs and/or Challenging Behaviour - 15 beds

- New Dawn Service - 15 bed specialist service for women diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder.
The Team
