It’s really important to us to hear your thoughts
We’re investing £105 million in modern facilities with the construction of a new adult mental health inpatient unit to replace Park House on the North Manchester General Hospital (NMGH) site.
The current plans include:
- 150 single en-suite bedrooms to be provided over nine single sex wards, including a purpose built Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit, seven adult acute wards for female and male adults, and one older adults ward.
- An assessment suite (specifically for people needing a place of safety and assessment under Section 136 of the Mental Health Act).
- A variety of internal activity areas and multiple outside garden spaces, specifically designed to enhance the environment and aid recovery.
The new development will replace the current inpatient unit, Park House, but will be built in a different, more accessible, and quieter location on the hospital site. This will allow the new building to be fully constructed without disturbing current patients and the day-to-day operation of services. Park House will continue to be used and improved until our new building is complete. Work on the new building is expected to start in 2022 with the new unit anticipated to be completed and operational by 2024. It is excellent news for people needing inpatient mental health services in Manchester and forms part of exciting regeneration plans being developed for the wider NMGH site.
Get Involved
It’s really important to us to hear the thoughts of our service users, their carers, family and friends as well as our staff and other stakeholders. We’re continuing to run workshops, so that you can get involved and feed into the design process.
If you would like to be involved in any of our workshops or just want to be kept up-to-date about the new development, please complete the Improving Mental Health in North Manchester contact form.
Your involvement can be as little or as much as you wish.
