During Your Stay

Accommodation

The Hospital offers a variety of accommodations allocated by the Clinical Team. The Hospital provides a range of accommodation options, with room allocation determined by the Clinical Team.

Clinical Team

You will be under the care of a Consultant Psychiatrist and a dedicated Clinical Team, which includes a medical registrar, a nurse, a psychologist, a social worker, and an occupational therapist. This is known as a Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) to support your mental health recovery. Each MDT member brings unique expertise to provide comprehensive care tailored to your specific needs. If you need to contact any member of the team, your primary nurse or the nurse on duty in your ward will be available to assist you.

Regular Meetings with Your MDT

You will have regular meetings with your MDT to discuss and refine your care plan. A care plan is a personalised set of mental health treatment goals developed collaboratively with your MDT. This plan is reviewed and updated consistently to reflect your progress and evolving needs.

Individualised Care Plan

Your care plan is designed to place you at the centre of your mental health journey. It ensures that you, your MDT, and your support network are aligned and working towards the same objectives. By combining the knowledge and skills of various professionals, your MDT can offer the best possible care to support your recovery.

At St John of God Hospital, our goal is to provide patient-focused, holistic care through the collaborative efforts of our multidisciplinary team, ensuring that your mental health treatment is effective, personalised, and compassionate. Learn more about your multidisciplinary team here.
