Adult Inpatient Low Secure

The Wheatfield Unit at Berrywood Hospital provides low secure mental health in-patient care for patients who have been detained under the Mental Health Act and stepped-down from a medium secure unit who may have previously posed a serious risk to public safety. Some are subject to Home Office restrictions. Patients have forensic histories or offending behaviour.

Type

Adult Inpatient Low Secure

Our adult inpatient low secure mental health service is located at Wheatfield Unit at Berrywood Hospital, Northampton.

Most of our patients will either be stepping down from medium secure placements or have been referred for assessment and treatment from secured services (prisons) via the courts or from other health care providers. Patients on Wheatfield will often have a history of offending and of behaviour considered too high risk to be cared for in open units.

Who is this service for? Men aged between 18 and 65 who have been detained under the Mental Health Act and meet the criteria for low secure care.
