Overview
We are strongly committed to least restrictive, trauma‑informed practice. Our approach prioritises therapeutic engagement, relational security, and skilled de‑escalation, supported by consistent team working and clear communication. Care is individualised, risk is thoughtfully assessed, and restrictive interventions are used only when absolutely necessary. Reflective practice is embedded within the team, allowing us to learn from challenges and continually improve the care we provide.
Haven PICU offers an opportunity to deepen your clinical expertise and broaden your professional impact. We work closely with medical staff, psychology, and AHPs in a truly integrated MDT. As a nurse on Haven you can take on informal leadership and mentorship roles within the shift team, and contribute to service development, quality improvement, and ward culture.
