Substance misuse services: Our teams provide clinical and psychosocial services to support patients who have experience of addiction.
Mental health services: We provide integrated mental health services to support patients across a wide range of needs and are particularly proud of our in-depth and successful work with patients who have a variety of mental health needs and personality disorders.
Dentistry: We offer oral healthcare and treatment to patients at a number of our prisons and immigration removal centres.
Physiotherapy: We help patients affected by injury, illness or disability through movement and exercise.
Podiatry: We offer on-site treatment of patients’ feet and ankles.
Optometry: Our specialists provide a range of eye care to patients on site.
Our non-custodial services support people during the pre- and post-custody period, aiming to improve health outcomes while reducing offending behaviour.
Through a combination of liaison, advocacy and signposting, we help those with vulnerabilities to access appropriate services — helping to reduce inequality while supporting people on their journey towards improved health and wellbeing.
