Our secure services are part of the South West Provider Collaborative, delivering secure mental health services across the South West region.   

We provide specialist treatment and care for people with:  

  • a mental illness    

  • learning disabilities  

  • autism spectrum disorder   

  • personality disorder  

If you, or a person you care for, have been in contact with the criminal justice system or need help to reduce your risk to others, we can provide specialist care that cannot be treated in mainstream mental health services.  

Our core services include:   

  • Wickham Unit – an inpatient low secure service   

  • Fromeside – an inpatient medium secure service   

Fromeside and Wickham inpatient units are located on the same site and work closely together to ensure we provide the best care and treatment. 

All referrals to secure services within the South West Provider Collaborative (SWPC) should be made via an online portal, SWPC Patient Flow System. For log in details and a guide on how to use the system, please email dpt.swpcpatientflowsystem@nhs.net.
