Priory Hospital East Midlands, located between Nottingham and Mansfield, is a 28-bedded specialist acute and psychiatric intensive care service for female patients.

We offer individualised care packages for patients and every individual is allocated their own consultant psychiatrist and named nurse. We specialise in managing behaviours that lead to distress, which is supported by a strong team of psychologists and occupational therapists. Our multidisciplinary team specialises in positive behavioural support planning, to help patients in managing and developing new strategies to improve their distress and trauma.

Littlemore Ward

10-bedded psychiatric intensive care unit for females of working age. The ward is proficient at nursing patients in a severe phase of their mental health illness and it integrates current best practice to promote recovery.

Our multidisciplinary team has vast experience in managing high levels of patient distress, which allows our ward to admit from vast clinical settings including other mental health inpatients wards, and accident and emergency departments.

Barton Ward

9-bedded acute service which provides treatment for females of working age. Barton Ward’s aim is to act as an extension to NHS care pathways during times of fluctuating capacity and flow. This allows more people to receive care and treatment, continuity of care and allow for minimum disruption to patients and their loved ones.

Barton Ward works collaboratively with family/carers and a host of CCGs, to strive for minimum lengths of hospital stays, with the aim of discharge into the community when possible.

Harris Ward

9-bedded ward currently under retooling and refurbishment - scheduled to open 2023.
