Priory boasts a diverse team of practitioners. Committed to providing the best treatment to each and every one of our patients, they pride themselves on placing patients at the heart of the treatment journey. This approach ensures that you are allocated to the best expert for your needs and benefit from a tailored treatment programme.

During your stay with us, you will be under the care of a consultant psychiatrist and supported daily by a team of nurses, healthcare assistants, doctors and therapists. You'll have scheduled appointments with your consultant twice a week and be encouraged to actively participate in planning your individual treatment plan. Additionally, you'll be allocated a named nurse and a co-nurse, who you'll have a dedicated one-to-one session with each week, typically lasting between 30 to 60 minutes, to discuss your progress and any concerns.

Yes, if you receive inpatient treatment for any condition at Altrincham, you'll have your own en-suite bedroom. 

Visiting is allowed at all Priory hospitals, and this is something that your team of carers will put in place.

Visiting times can vary depending on your treatment plan, and whether you're undergoing our medically assisted detox programme. This is something staff will discuss with you prior to your visit.

From Monday to Friday, friends or family are welcome to visit the ward at certain times. When you're ready for someone to visit, you can confirm these times with your ward team.

On the weekends, therapy sessions and wellness activities are less frequent, which means that visiting times can be more flexible.

Children are allowed to visit, but we respectfully ask that they stay with an adult at all times. They can visit you in your private room, or there are options to book out therapy rooms outside of therapy hours. A member of staff will be able to assist you with those details when you arrive.

We also have carer information packs available on request, to give to your loved ones.
