Job Advert Role Description
Patients have a primary diagnosis of a Serious Mental Illness, with additional complexities such as physical health conditions, substance misuse, and secondary mental health issues.
Priory Hospital Solihull benefits from a stable and established MDT which includes the Medical team, OT, Psychology, Nurses, HCAs and Ward Managers. We are also supported by diverse admin, support services and senior management teams.
The hospital offers a range of assessments, treatments and interventions with a strong focus on patient collaboration in decision making and working with people in the least restrictive way.
Priory Group’s focus on quality improvement, combined with Priory Hospital Solihull’s focus on delivering patient-centred care allow us to continuously evaluate and enhance our performance.
Our approach:
The treatment programme at Priory Hospital Solihull aims to optimise patient’s independence. We support our patient’s recovery by assessing their abilities and needs, and developing psychological, emotional, social and occupational skills, alongside treating and minimising risk behaviours. All interventions aim to help the patient to maximise independence, understand the effect their experiences have on themselves and others, to help them to manage the impact of internal and external triggers on their behaviour, and ultimately to provide hope for a fulfilling future.
These interventions include individual and group Psychological therapies, such as Substance Misuse, Relapse Prevention and Wellbeing, and Occupational Therapy, such as Cooking Skills, Budgeting and Life Skills.
Our approach to care acknowledges patient’s as individuals, each with their own unique skills and needs. Supporting patients to identifying meaningful and achievable goals is essential for successful engagement and treatment.
