The treatment model we provide at Cygnet Hospital Clifton is delivered in the context of a cohesive multidisciplinary, psychologically informed team approach, with the patient at its centre. We aim to create opportunities for sustained positive behavioural change, by applying a consistent approach where the men in our care feel encouraged to develop positive interpersonal skills to reduce maladaptive or pathological behaviours.
The hospital is set out across two wards; Ancaria Ward is the admissions/ initial treatment ward, which offers a defined pathway through to Acorn Ward, which has a focus on rehabilitation, in preparation for moving on into the community or supported living.
At Cygnet Hospital Clifton we aim to sequence interventions according to Professor Livesley’s integrated treatment model. The therapeutic milieu aims to ensure consistency and optimal conditions for growth and change in a positive and effective environment.
“Just a quick thank you for being so pleasant, lovely, kind and respectful to me. It is a pleasure to work with you all and also the MDT team. I feel you are all very approachable and always made me feel reassured whilst residing here with my recent positive progress. You are all professionals but you are all also human beings and I respect you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you.”Service user
