Ratings - Child and adolescent mental health wards
Our view of the service
We assessed inpatient wards at Hopewood hospital, which is a 32 bedded unit across 3 wards for children and young people aged 13 - 18 years old. It supports those who are experiencing mental health difficulties that can no longer be managed in the community. These may include eating disorders or difficulties, mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
We assessed:
Pegasus Ward - a 12 bed specialist eating disorder service
Phoenix Ward - a 12 bed general adolescent unit
We looked at 14 care and 15 medication records.
We spoke with 12 staff, 5 young people and 4 carers of young people.
We attended one care planning review meeting.
People's experience of this service
We spoke with 4 young people; they told us they were involved in developing their care plan and were invited to attend the individual weekly care plan meeting prior to their care review with the multi – disciplinary team. Young people told us there was a good variety of activities on offer, which included a music room and facilities for baking and arts and crafts. Safety plans were available to young people in friendly language and in a bright and colourful format.
