Welcome to Ward 34
Ward 34 is:
20 Bedded – there is space for 20 service users to stay on the ward at any time.
All-male – In line CQC guidance wards should offer same-sex accommodation, Ward 34 provides this service for male service users, those who identify as a man or those who are non-binary and choose to be in a male environment.
Working age adult – primarily those between the ages of 18 and 65, we may sometimes care for service users outside of this range with the guidance of specific policies.
Acute– the ward treats people in mental health crises when it is felt it is not safe enough to be treated at home.
Inpatient – people cared for here are admitted to hospital which means staying overnight – the purpose of this is to ensure the minimisation of psychological distress and the promotion of resilience and self-management.
Mental Health – people admitted onto the ward are admitted because they need support and care for their mental health crisis; everyone on the ward is receiving care for their own mental health needs so please be sensitive of each other’s struggles.
Our staffing team includes Medics, Nurses, Student’s Nursing Assistants, OT’s OTA’s, housekeepers and a Ward administrator. The team is made up of people with a diverse range of backgrounds and life experiences; we aim to approach our roles professionally, with an open mind; being non-judgemental and focusing on the strengths of individuals.
We aim to nurse people in a therapeutic manner that is recovery focused. We are keen to get to know you as a person and help as best we can. Ward 34 has shared expectations of staff, service users and carers, these are that all people will speak to each other with respect and will endeavour to listen to each other.
