In prisons and immigration removal centres (IRCs) we pride ourselves on providing high quality, clinically effective and efficient healthcare which empowers people to take their health seriously. We deliver healthcare to thousands of patients in prisons and IRCs nationwide.

Everyone in prison is entitled to an equivalent level of NHS healthcare they could expect to receive in the community. Services are delivered under one roof by a team of caring, skilled and compassionate professionals working together to meet a range of needs.

On arrival, each person receives a comprehensive assessment covering physical and mental health, substance misuse, social care needs and wider social circumstances. From the outset, we deliver integrated, person-centred care through a multidisciplinary team, ensuring needs are met both on entry and throughout their time in our care.

Where specialist treatment is required, we work in partnership with prison teams to support safe and timely access to hospital appointments.

Central to everything we do is a commitment to lived experience. People with direct experience of the justice system shape our service design, delivery and improvement- ensuring our support is authentic, responsive and capable of achieving meaningful, lasting change.
