Short profile:
Affinity Healthcare Forensic Low Secure Services provide secure inpatient interventions for both men and women who become mentally ill whilst within the criminal justice system. We also provide comprehensive, robust and timely assessments as requested by courts and diversion schemes.
The treatment of offenders is currently provided from the comprehensive and well established range of secure services at both Cheadle Royal Hospital and Middleton St George Hospital has recently opeened a brand new designated forensic low secure service based on Linden Unit.
Care pathways have been structured to meet the policy needs of both mental health services and the National Offender Management Service (NOMS). The highly skilled multidisciplinary team provide for both the mental health needs of the clients and also their criminogenic needs.
Detailed description:
Affinity Healthcare provides complex mental health care services to patients who need our services. Care is normally funded via the NHS and patients can enter our services either for a specific treatment or for a series of treatments across our services. The patient is at the core of everything we do and we support them through the Care Programme Approach (CPA).
For people in our care this means:-
One multidisciplinary team providing integrated care and continuity of the therapeutic relationship
Care focused on achieving the best possible outcomes
A sense of success from moving through services towards more independent living
Pro-active patient management rather than reactive support
Highly individualised care programmes
Treatment plans which will be quickly modified if patient circumstances change
An emphasis on self-reliance and a smooth return to independent living
A more appropriate therapeutic service for those previously 'stuck' in services
