The Campbell Centre

Inpatient wards are suitable for people who:

• Are over the age of 18.
• Are suffering an acute phase of a serious mental illness, suspected to have an acute mental illness, or a relapse of long term mental illnesses that, due to the level of identified risks to self or others, cannot be safely assessed and treated anywhere but in an inpatient mental health ward.
• Have been detained under the Mental Health Act (including Community Treatment Order (CTO) recalls)
• Are vulnerable, at risk of harm to self or others as a result of an acute phase of a serious mental illness and cannot be safely supported in a community setting despite increased level of support, care and treatment.
• Have a dual diagnosis of learning disability, substance misuse etc. however the primary reason for inpatient care is an acute phase of a serious mental illness.

The service is unable to accept admissions of people who:

• Are under the age of 18.
• Are not in an acute phase of a serious mental illness.
• Could be treated safely within a community or residential setting.
• Have a primary diagnosis of substance misuse in the absence of an acute mental illness. This would include patients requesting a detoxification without any suggestion of mental illness and patients who have a mental illness and are at risk of serious physical withdrawal symptoms from alcohol who should be on a medical ward. Read more about our national detoxification service at the Max Glatt Unit based in London.
• Have a primary diagnosis of learning disability without a co-morbid mental health problem. Read more about our learning disability services based in London.
