Located in Edmonton, North London, Priory Hospital Enfield offers acute and secure services for adult females. We have two medium secure wards, one low secure and one acute ward.

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.
