Our mission is to deliver compassionate, recovery-focused treatment through collaboration with our young people, their families, and other professionals.

We follow a clinically-led, person-centred model of care, developed with input from doctors, nurses, psychologists, therapists, social workers, and other experts, along with feedback from our young people and their families. Our approach is tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs, using evidence-based practices to inform our treatment strategies.
Our on-site Ofsted-registered school ensures that young people can continue their education while receiving care, as long as they are able to attend.

The hospital consists of three units, each supported by its own dedicated, Consultant-led Multi-Disciplinary Team of child and adolescent mental health experts:

• Wedgwood: Eating Disorders Service
• Hartley: Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit
• Thorneycroft: General Adolescent Service
