Edgbaston is a 15 bed ward for men who require assessment and treatment of mental illness. Patients are often transferred from prison, high secure services and other medium secure services to have their condition stabilised, before either returning to complete their sentence or to remain in hospital care.
Patients may have more than one mental health diagnosis including functional/ organic psychosis, personality disorder and substance misuse problems.
Because of the benefit of our location we can step patients down to low secure services on site making a safer transition.
