Our opening hours

24 hours

• Ward Manager: Judith Magomi
• Service manager/Matron: Daniel Ibukun
• Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist: Dr Michael Kavuma

Anyone who uses our services first gets an assessment of their mental health needs and a plan of the care and support they will receive. They will also will also have one named person who co-ordinates their care and support. This person will be called either a named professional or, if your needs are more complex,  a care co-ordinator. This person should be your main point of contact.  You can speak to them about how your treatment and support are going. When you come to hospital we will make sure you are given information about your rights and that you are only in hospital for as long as you need.  When you arrive you will be given a welcome pack which will give you and your family all the information you need to know  - like the visiting times and phone numbers.

Referrals should be sent to the administrator of the bed management panel at Forensic Services in Springfield Hospital. A copy of the referral form can be found here.
