Priory Hospital Nottingham provides effective and personalised evidence-based treatment programmes for both males and females aged 18 years or older, who require acute mental health emergency care.

Focus on Safety

Our absolute priority is to make sure we operate safe and effective services 24/7 and that all staff understand what is required of them to make that happen. Click here to read more.

Our approach

The support we off­er is occupational-therapy based and we provide a variety of therapeutic interventions including:

• Mindfulness informed therapy
• Activities of daily living
• Cooking activities
• Art therapy

All treatment that takes place is personalised to each individual’s needs and includes and focuses on aspects of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT).

Nottingham offers open-group therapy sessions which provide acute mental health patients the chance to attend where schedules allow. These groups tend to be based on specific areas such as anxiety and CBT skills and focus is both educational and therapeutic.

We also ensure patients have a say in their treatment and arrange weekly team meetings with both patients and staff.

Art therapy is an important part of treatment as it provides a creative way of supporting recovery and may be particularly useful for patients who are unable to, or do not wish to, engage in a group or individual verbal therapy. As such, this is not a class but a space where individuals are free to explore without being judged.
