Cygnet Hospital Beckton

| *Winner of Nursing Practice Award 2008 |
Cygnet Hospital Beckton 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.
