Careers Family Carers News About us Referrals Contact Tel : 0208 327 1800 Our Divisions & Services Our Locations Welcome to Aberbeeg Aberbeeg is a low secure hospital for men. Our Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) puts least restrictive practice at the centre of every individualised plan of care. Aberbeeg’s medium secure service is open for assessments now in readiness for admissions from August 2021. From admission to discharge, the service user works with the team to develop a route to recovery that is unique to them. At Aberbeeg Hospital, we embrace both creativity and evidence-based new practices to enhance the lived experience of each individual. More information about Aberbeeg Model of Care Aberbeeg uses a twelve-week therapeutic planning model alongside the “Safewards” model of care. This means that service users have a therapeutic timetable devised collaboratively with the multidisciplinary team using meaningful and smart goals for a twelve-week period. Following this, the timetable is reviewed and changed to reflect the development and achievements made. Each service user develops a Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) plan with their primary nurse and the wider multidisciplinary team where applicable. The medium secure ward will work along the same model of care as our low secure environment. Least restrictive practice will be at the centre of the care provided and Safewards will be the ethos across the whole hospital. Admission Criteria Men aged 18 to 65 who are liable to be detained under the Mental Health Act 1983 (amended 2007) and Code of Practice for Wales Those who have a primary diagnosis of a mental health problem, personality disorder, mild learning disability and/or drug and alcohol complications Aberbeeg accept referrals from the Local Health Boards Aberbeeg will accept patients from Wales who need medium secure care according to the assessments of The Welsh Health Specialised Services Committee (WHSSC).
