WHAT IS THE GENERAL ADULT INPATIENT WARD LIKE?
This General Adult Ward is an acute mental health inpatient unit based at a rural district general hospital. It has 16 beds for adult men and women providing assessment and treatment by a multi disciplinary team. This acute inpatient unit is designed for men and women with mental health problems arising from functional disorders such as depression, anxiety or psychosis, who require a stay in hospital.

Acute wards for adults of working age and psychiatric intensive care units were all rated as 'good' by the CQC. The services were found to be providing effective care. All patients had a care plan which was regularly updated and patients had access to a range of care and treatment options which were in line with national guidance. Staff are supervised effectively and have access to additional specialist training, including CESR support. 

Staff in the department and across the general adult services are caring. Feedback from patients and carers was consistently positive about staff attitudes. The service was organised in a way that ensured staff focussed on interacting and engaging with patients as opposed to administrative tasks. The service is providing care in a way that was responsive to people’s needs. Beds are managed appropriately to ensure that people could access the service when they needed it.

The service is also very well-led. There is a stable management team with managers at all levels who have the skills, knowledge and experience to perform their roles and support new members of the psychiatry team. Ward managers and senior managers are approachable, ensuring you will be well respected, supported and valued.
