Surehaven Glasgow is delighted to announce the new, Low Secure Mental Health Service at Drumchapel, has been granted registration by the Scottish Commission for Care after a robust registration process.
The opening of the hospital marks the culmination of a vision to offer a bespoke facility to the people of Scotland whose mental health problems require specialist care and treatment. Surehaven Glasgow will assist the NHS by being part of the solution for patients who are sometimes placed a considerable distance from their home area.
Surehaven Glasgow is a 17 bed unit. It will treat patients between the ages of 18 to 65 suffering from a mental disorder.
The £5 million project, developed by Surehaven Glasgow Ltd, a subsidiary of Shaw healthcare, of St Mellons, in Cardiff, will be officially opened in August.
Having received regulatory approval, and with the initial appointment of Dr Luqman Khan and a Multi Disciplinary Team, Surehaven is ready to serve the NHS by assessing and admitting patients who require a specialist service.
Surehaven’s aims to work closely with Scotland’s NHS and Social Services to develop future services to meet the needs of those who require quality care, treatment and support.
Ewan McLean, Surehaven’s Director of Operations for Scotland said: ‘I am delighted that the Care Commission has approved Surehaven Glasgow. The inspection process is thorough and very important. We have worked very hard in partnership with them to meet all the standards.’
‘This has been a team effort and I would like to thank my staff, for their support over the last year during the building of the hospital.’
Approximately one hundred new jobs have been created as a result of the project in Drumchapel and Surehaven have worked closely with the local Job Centre plus team to encourage local applications.
A range of treatments and therapy services from qualified staff will be available for most mental health problems, including Acquired Brain Injury.
