Released 21/07/2008

PiC is delighted to announce the opening of Calverton Hill, a new 64 bedded medium secure psychiatric hospital near Arnold in Nottinghamshire. Through creative collaboration with architects and contractors PiC has commissioned a building that sets new standards for medium secure hospitals.

The space and light of Calverton Hill will ensure a positive experience for a needy patient group and the four gender specific wards will provide treatment programmes for men and women with a range of mental disorders.

The opening of Calverton Hill will allow refurbishment and upgrading of existing PiC facilities in the Midlands. Calverton Hill will complete a patient care pathway from medium through low to supervised community settings.

Fred Sinclair Brown, Group Chief Executive of PiC, said “Calverton Hill offers an exceptional environment for patient care. The finished building surpasses our expectations for meeting patient, staff and stakeholder requirements in a secure setting”.

“I have every confidence that the clinical programmes delivered at Calverton Hill will be as exciting and innovative as the building in which they are being delivered”.
