We offer specialist assessment, treatment, and care to patients with severe mental illness, complex needs, and people who require an environment with security and safety.
Priory’s acute and PICU services aim to allow more people to be treated closer to home and we support the NHS to repatriate out-of-area patients back to local areas.
