We are pleased to announce that Cygnet Hospital Bury’s new Tier 4 general adolescent acute service will open on Monday 12 October 2015. The new service, which replaces one of the PICU wards, will complement the remaining CAMHS PICUs at Cygnet Hospital Bury, thus extending the short-stay care pathways on site. This further enables young people who access our services to remain in the least restrictive environment.
Located within the newly refurbished ‘Wizard House’ complex the new service will:
- offer 10 en-suite bedrooms with ample living and recreational facilities
- provide a service for young people aged 13 to 18 years
- provide multidisciplinary assessment, treatment and support for young people with mental health difficulties requiring in-patient care and treatment
- provide a comprehensive therapeutic and age-appropriate educational programme in close liason with the young persons’ school
- work jointly with NHS Case Managers and Tier 3 CAMHS services to deliver highly specialised care closer to home
- Alpha Hospital Bury’s adolescent services have access to the specialist Deaf services on site therefore special consideration could be given to young people with a hearing impairment
This exciting new development is the first at Bury since Cygnet Health Care completed the acquisition of Alpha Hospitals in August 2015.
