Ward B1 - Bassetlaw Hospital

Ward B1 is an Assessment Ward for mental health concerns that provides care for 15 patients over the age of 65. We offer support and reassurance to both patients and their carers.

The ward has two separate units:

Blyth Unit - 10 beds for patients with an illness caused by a medical or physical disease such as dementia

Clumber Unit - 5 beds for patients with an illness which is the result of psychological factors such as depression, anxiety, psychosis

We offer a range of specialist services including:

• assessment of daily needs
• psychology assessment
• cognitive assessments

You will usually be assessed over a period of a few weeks then decisions are made jointly with carers and other agencies about your future care. The ward links in to a number of other services such as:

• community psychiatric nurses
• dementia outreach nurses
• Intensive Recovery Intervention Service (IRIS)
• others which enable an assessment to be completed and discharge to be planned
