Our hospital has 78 beds, 56 of which are located within the main hospital and the remaining 22 in The Lodges. 

We offer assessment, treatment and rehabilitation. Our aim is to reduce the distress associated with mental health problems and to promote recovery. We work to reduce the risks associated with our patient group and tailor treatment to meet each patient’s needs. We are dedicated to achieving the highest standards of patient care.

Patients will only be admitted to Wathwood Hospital if they are referred by a professional.

Referrals come from:

  • courts
  • prisons
  • secure hospitals
  • general mental health services
  • independent sector hospitals
