Our services

Our Forensic service offers an award-winning Seven Day Therapies Programme that provides group interventions to service users and carers.

After the Seven Day Therapies Programme’s first year, there was a 15% reduction in violence and aggression amongst service users. This demonstrates the positive impact pro-social structured activity in ward-based settings can have.

Each ward has a designated Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), Registered Occupational Therapist, and Occupational Therapy Apprentice.

There is a fully trained sports team offering both an individual and group fitness programme, a referral form needs to be completed with a health check by medical or nursing staff.

The Forensic Recovery College is based within our Therapies Department at the Bracton Centre.  A designated Forensic Recovery College Lead offers co-produced courses in the prospectus for each academic year.

Centre safety

The Seven Day Therapies Programme is reviewed regularly by the Patient User Forum to ensure it meets the needs of patients and carers. Each group activity has a protocol with robust risk assessment and management processes in place.

Individual and group interventions are risk assessed and managed in line with our policy to ensure safe working practices.
