Priory purpose and approach

Our purpose is to work with our patients, residents and students to help them take control of their lives and achieve their maximum potential by providing them with an individual care, therapy and education programme that is based on four key principles - empowerment and autonomy, dignity, physical healthcare provision and social interaction.

Our objectives are to become an integral part of our public mental healthcare and education systems, to contribute to the innovation and development of care and education.

Our highly skilled, multi-disciplinary teams assess each individual's needs and develop a tailored programme of activities and therapies that allows them to move along their care pathway and meet their treatment goals. 

Patients' individual care pathways are constantly reviewed and therapeutic care and medical inputs adapted to ensure that treatment is relevant and appropriate in order for them to either return to the community or take a suitable long-term placement. 

We pride ourselves on providing our clients and funders with complete transparency and the highest standards of care through our rigorous clinical governance and review procedures which take place throughout the patient's treatment programme.

Collaboration is the key to our success and we work in partnership with the NHS to develop new services to meet the changing needs of both the referrer and patient. To learn more about our NHS partnerships click here.
