Welcome to Ward 36
Ward 36 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 36 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.
The Ward 36 team is bright, positive, and enthusiastic. We are keen to talk to you, to get to know you better and to help as best we can. The team is made up of a variety of professionals in different roles including consultant psychiatrist, ward manager, lead nurses, occupational therapists, registered nurses, nursing assistants and an admin - please see staff names board to see who is who. All service users will be allocated a “Named Nurse”, please approach us if you have any questions.
Ward 36 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. The Ward 36 team is made up of people with a diverse range of backgrounds and life experiences; we aim to approach our roles with an open mind; being non-judgemental and focusing on the strengths of individuals.
Ward 36 prides itself on working alongside patients and carers to provide effective, individualised care and treatment. This is care and treatment that will help you to recover sooner and that is tailored to you. Your care plan may be different to others as your circumstances are different, this is how we aim to achieve equality of outcome for our service users.
