Lavender ward
Who we are
Lavender Ward is a 22-bed In-patient Treatment Unit for adults experiencing an episode of acute mental illness and other related disorders.
The Team recognises that treatment, and particularly admission to hospital, can be anxiety provoking. It is often a time when patients are given lots of information and at a time when it’s not always easy to take in
