There are several services that support our service users who
need care within our wards.
Inpatient Services -
Wards
The Trust's nine inpatient wards are based at North Manchester
General Hospital (Park House), Wythenshawe Hospital (Laureate
House) and Central Manchester (Edale House) and consist of an
experienced team of medical staff, nurses and occupational
therapists. Each service user will be assessed for their own
individual needs whilst an inpatient and the ward staff work
closely with community teams upon discharge should further support
be required.
At the beginning of August 2011 we opened an all-male 20-bedded
rehabilitation unit, Acacia Ward, at Park House which provides more
intensive care and support to enable this group of service users to
successfully move back into the community and re-connect with their
communities and social networks.
Discharge Planning
Service
The Discharge Planning Service identifies any accommodation issues
a service user may have before or during their admission to a ward.
By working closely with a multi disciplinary team and service
users, discharge planners create a plan to support the
accommodation needs of each person.
Mental Health Liaison Service
(MHLS)
MHLS is based in the A&E departments at Manchester Royal
Infirmary, North Manchester General Hospital and Wythenshawe
Hospital, providing mental health and risk assessments for
emergency patients. The team makes referrals to the appropriate
teams and create a care plan depending on what area of support is
required for each individual, e.g. mental health problems, drugs
misuse.
Further information about each service, including contact
details, is available by clicking on the links under 'Inpatient
Services'.
