The inpatient services at Roseberry Park Hospital are provided within four acute commissioned admissions units, in a total of 66 beds distributed in four single sex wards ( 2 male and 2 female wards). The inpatient services, led by a team of consultant psychiatrists, are supported by Specialty Doctors and Resident Doctors. There is existing additional support from one Nurse Consultant who is an approved clinician to adult services in the Roseberry Park Hospital. The current ward arrangements are two 14-18 bedded units for South Tees (Middlesbrough, and Redcar & Cleveland). There are two 14-18 bedded units for North of Tees areas (Stockton and Hartlepool areas). There may be out of area patients on any of the wards depending on requirements. We operate an acclaimed and widely recognised Purposeful Inpatient Admissions Process (PIPA), which allows for daily consultant led inpatient services, with high quality and performance. This process has allowed us to currently operate with fewer than 50 bed occupancy in line the NHS 10-year plan, and we are currently operating in 3 wards with under 50 patients at any point in time.
