Prison Mental Health Services
His Majesty’s Prisons Health Care Services
Overview
In October 2022, Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust were commissioned to deliver the mental health services in four Thames Valley prisons:
- HMP Bullingdon
- HMP Grendon
- HMP Huntercombe
- HMP Springhill.
How we work
The services are operated by integrated mental health teams, which includes:
- Mental health and learning disability nursing staff
- Psychiatrists
- Social workers
- Psychology staff
- Administrators.
Clinicians provide evidence-based interventions using the Stepped Care Model and a trauma informed approach.
This is across a wide variety of mental health conditions. Interventions range from self-care and social prescribing to complex risk management, and hospital transfers, in line with best practice guidance.
