The accommodation is purpose-built and offers single en suite rooms throughout. Therapy and leisure facilities contribute to a comprehensive package of care.
The Team
The wards at Cygnet Hospital Wyke are highly staffed to ensure the highest quality of care is provided to patients in our care.
In addition to the nursing team each ward comprises of:
- Consultant Psychiatrist
- Staff Grade Doctor
- Occupational Therapist
- Therapy Assistants
- Music and Art Therapists
Making a Referral
We take referrals for intensive care by telephone consultation, 24-hours a day and make a prompt decision on admission to ensure the patient receives treatment as quickly as possible.
Referrals for low secure services can be made by letter with a current risk assessment and a recent Care Programme Approach (CPA) report to the Clinical Manager who ensures prompt assessment by a senior nurse and a doctor.
Admission, if appropriate, may be agreed within a week of assessment. At the time of admission, if available, an up-to-date social worker's report is also required.
Discharge
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 in their home area.
