Mental illness services
Partnerships in Care (PiC) accepts referrals of patients with
a variety of complex mental health needs, such as mental illness and personality
disorder. Referrals originate from the NHS, prisons and other independent sector
providers nationwide. At PiC, we recognise that men and women often require gender-specific
specialist services.
Once referred, PiC adopts a multidisciplinary team approach to the care of our patients. This team typically consists of a consultant psychiatrist alongside nurses, social workers, psychologists and occupational therapists.
Each team has the benefit of being able to access the latest psychiatric treatment. When used alongside treatments such as psychological psychotherapies, occupational therapy and creative therapies they provide a holistic approach to patient treatment.
Therapies include:
- cognitive behavioural therapy
- psychodynamic therapies
- dialectal behavioural therapy (DBT)
- offender-focused work
- psycho-education
- pharmacological treatments
When admitted to our care each patient receives a detailed psychiatric evaluation, which may include a full neuropsychological, psychosocial and functional assessment.
To ensure consistent, focused, individualised care, each patient is reviewed regularly using an enhanced Care Programme Approach (CPA). We encourage referring clinical teams, patients and advocates to attend these meetings, where we jointly review and plan each person's care.
In addition, most of our facilities have full-time teaching personnel who offer a broad range of services - everything from assistance with basic educational deficits, to supporting individuals in academic and vocational training programmes.
Our network of high-quality hospitals allows us to offer pathways of care for patients. Patients who are normally admitted initially to medium-secure or low-secure conditions move on to lesser secure or step-down services when they are ready.
