Kings Norton Hospital in Birmingham supports men and women over the age of 18 from across the UK who are detained under the Mental Health Act 1983 (2007) and who are experiencing severe and complex mental health conditions.

With support from our multi-disciplinary team (MDT), patients are able to work through their mental health conditions in a safe and secure environment. Our MDT works closely to offer a range of therapeutic interventions and promote the shortest length of stay that is clinically indicated to support a healthy transition home or to ongoing support in the community.

Our Acute Wards are for patients who need to step down from a PICU setting or who have complex, severe or prolonged mental health issues but do not require a PICU setting. Patients are either admitted formally or voluntarily.

The hospital has 3 acute wards:

Lakeside Ward – A 10 bed Acute Mental Health service for women.

Manor Ward – A 10 bed Acute Mental Health service for men.

Hope Ward – A 12 bed Acute Mental Health service for men.
