Prison nursing is both challenging & rewarding, where no two days are the same! You will need a good understanding of both the needs and challenges facing patients with multiple needs in a secure setting. The variation ensures the environment is not monotonous, keeping tasks stimulating alongside the support needed to deliver the best care possible.

The Inpatients Unit is a 22 bedded healthcare ward that is divided into two. The two wards provide both mental and physical healthcare to offenders who cannot be appropriately cared for in the prison’s ordinary wings. The unit usually works with an average of 18 patients with mental health needs and 4 with primary physical care problems (this varies with presenting needs).
