Wyvern Unit – Mental Health Rehabilitation Unit
Visiting hours are from 4.00pm – 7.00pm Mondays to Fridays and 2.00pm – 7.00pm at weekends. Visits will be supervised by a member of staff where appropriate. Children may visit on an individually assessed basis, subject to risk assessment by a Cygnet Hospital Derby Social Worker. All child visits will occur in the visitors room.
It would be beneficial if 24 hours notice could be given to avoid disturbing Therapy input and allow time to facilitate a quality visit.
Visits outside the stated hours can be facilitated with prior notice and agreement with the Wyvern Unit Team.

Due to restrictions set out by the Government, all visiting arrangements are subject to change and we will work with family and friends to organise visits in line with the guidance given to us. Please contact the wards to arrange telephone calls to speak to your loved ones.
What to expect on arrival
Monday to Friday 7-8.30 reception staff are on duty. They will ask you to sign in and if you have any contraband items for which you are asked to sign a declaration.

What not to bring
To ensure the safety of our service users, visitors and staff at all times we operate a contraband list of items which are not allowed on the unit. Please do not bring any of the items on the list to the unit.
You will be asked when signing in if you have any of these items and may be asked to search your bags before entry to the unit. If you do accidently bring any items on the list don’t worry, you can hand them in at reception or to the nursing staff and they will be returned to you when you leave.
