Kedleston Unit, Kingsway Hospital
Our team at the Kedleston Unit provides a gender-specific low-secure service for males.
The team delivers intensive, comprehensive, multidisciplinary treatments and care for patients who demonstrate disturbed behaviour in the context of a serious mental disorder and must be in a secure setting.
The service is commissioned by IMPACT East Midlands, our provider collaborative who we work closely with. Referrals come from regional medium-secure units, prisons, Ministry of Justice recalls, Psychiatric Intensive Care Units and acute adult wards. There are 20 beds at the Kedleston Unit: Curzon ward is an eight-bedded assessment ward and Scarsdale ward is a 12-bedded rehabilitation ward.
Referral criteria
- Males 18 years and above
- Must be suffering from a mental disorder, and detained under the MHA 1983 (not section 2)
- Must require treatment in a specialist low-secure service

External referrals should come through provider collaborative, IMPACT, who will send the appropriate referrals to our Single Point of Access email address: dhcft.derbyshireforensicspoa@nhs.net
The Kedleston Unit team are members of the Royal College of Psychiatrists' Forensic Quality Network. They are active members in peer service review and sharing of good practice through the network.
