The NHS Foundation Trust is passionate about delivering first-class patient-centered, safe and effective care, whether it is in a hospital setting, in a community clinic or in the patient’s own home. Patients are at the heart of everything they do. They provide NHS services throughout a person’s life, in physical and mental health and everything in between, at GPs and hospitals to the community. The majority of their services are provided in the community, which means treating people in their homes or from clinics close to home. In this sense they are a very modern part of the NHS, something the new Long Term Plan wants to see more of, with better integration and coordination of care, delivered as close to home as possible.

The Consultants have their own office in the administrative area of the hospital with IT access. 

The Mental Health Unit has 4 acute admissions wards, each with 17 beds, except for one of the wards that has 16 beds. Admissions are from the local CMHTs, HTTs or Psychiatric liaison services; all admissions are gatekept by HTT. Current bed occupation is at approximately 90-95% but the Trust has a bed occupancy project to reduce this to 85% over the next 12 months. On average 75% of admissions are under the Mental Health Act, with an average of 4 admissions per week. This results in Tribunals and Managers Hearing on average fortnightly. The team therefore works closely with bed managers and HTT to ensure that there is appropriate throughput through the service.
