We understand that being in hospital can make some patients feel unsettled.
Due to their mental health condition, some patients may feel uneasy and may be a risk to themselves or to other patients and staff.
We’re committed to working in the spirit of the Act, and to use methods to help keep patients calm and our staff safe while we provide care.
We can help support and treat you for severe and complex mental health difficulties, referring you onto other services where appropriate.
