Striving for excellence
Our services
Our service is a game changer, both on the provision of mental health services and the experience of the services by our patients. We provide seamless experience for patient from Acute services reducing compulsion managing transition back to community reducing relapse rate and improving engagement with the primary services enhancing the experience patients as they are reintegrated into the community which has been a major source of failure leading to relapse and readmission to Acute services. We aim to eradicate instances where patients are kept on the ward due to non-availability of suitable placement or are discharged in a manner which might detrimental to their recovery or negatively impact on their recovery. As a short-term discharge to assess service we work collaboratively with other community services signposting patients to appropriate services in a timely fashion. As we strive for excellence within the mental health space both for experience and service provision the cumulative benefits are numerous.
