The hospital will provide a clinically led evidence based neuropsychiatric pathway. The service will cater for women affected by acquired brain injuries (ABI) or functional neurological disorders. It will provide a safe and secure place to aid recovery as well as offering those diagnosed with a progressive neurological disease like Huntington’s Disease, a longer term placement to support and help manage the progression of their symptoms.
Our focus is to create a therapeutic rich environment which engages service users and offers them the opportunity to maximise their independence. Each of the 12 bedrooms include an en-suite bathroom to support service users privacy.
A resource intensive neuropsychiatry interdisciplinary team will contain the following team members:
- Neuropsychiatrist/Psychiatrist
- Neuropsychologist/Psychologist
- Occupational Therapist
- Speech and Language Therapist
- Physiotherapist
- Clinical Hospital Manager
- Therapy Coordinator
- Nurses across RMN/RGN/RNLD disciplines
- Support Workers
- GP cover from local practice
Positive behaviour goals will be focused on discharge planning to support service users to return to community living – either with support or independently. The eight transitional beds sit within two separate bungalows, offering an on-site structured community reintegration pathway, overseen by the same clinical team as within the hospital setting.
