Buttercup Ward is an 8-bed CAMHS PICU service for young people aged 12-18 with severe mental illness. Buttercup Ward is located in the hospital’s Forestwood building.
The service will focus on working with young people to understand their mental health and their risks and support their recovery, enabling them to be successfully discharged to a less restrictive environment. Thus reducing the possibility of relapse and likelihood of requiring a secure service in the future. The service is able to provide robust care and support for young people displaying significant levels of challenging behaviour.
West Hampton Ward is the hospital’s new 13 bed medium secure service for men and is located in the hospital’s Hudson building.
West Hampton, supports men with a range of complex care needs including personality disorder, mental illness and detachment disorders.
A highly specialised multi-disciplinary team supports people in West Hampton and care and treatment programmes are very much tailored to the individual’s needs, with DBT being used as a treatment programme within the ward.
Both new services are now accepting referrals.
