Brett Ward

We are a 17-bed acute admission ward that provides in-patient psychiatric assessment and treatment for male adult residents of City and Hackney (for patients under the age of 65).

The service sets out to provide effective mental health care to help service users recover from a mental health crisis, and support their rehabilitation to get back on track with their lives.

Please note that the City and Hackney Centre for Mental Health is now a smoke-free site

Referrals are accepted via:

  • Locality Teams
  • Consultants
  • Specialist Registrars or following Emergency Clinic assessment (A+E Department).

All inpatients have a thorough assessment of their care needs and risk. This leads to the development of a comprehensive treatment plan. A tailored rehabilitation programme will be put in place for each patient focusing on their specific needs and issues.

As well stabilising symptoms of mental illness, patients can access occupational and arts therapies, psychological interventions including substance misuse treatment and a range of medical services including regimes of therapeutic medication and the delivery of enhanced physical health care packages.

Each patient’s progress is managed by the clinical team utilising the Care Programme Approach which is based on a Recovery Model.

The ward has a multi-disciplinary team including mental health nurses, clinical support workers, clinical psychologists, a consultant psychiatrist and medical staff. They work in partnership with the outpatients team, care co-ordinators, social workers and GPs to support the patient through their inpatient stay.
