Medium secure units (MSU)
Medium secure services
Our medium secure service is Northside House (NR7 0HT). It's in the heart of Thorpe St-Andrews just up the road from the Bannatyne health club.
​
We're made up of three male wards - an acute admissions ward (Catton) , a rehabilitation ward (Drayton) and a low secure ward (Blakeney). We have a gym, a workshop, a health wing for our visiting primary care team, and a service-user run shop. Our team includes doctors, nurses, psychologists, clinical support workers (CSWs), our security team and occupational therapists.
​
Our mediums secure service interfaces with the Ministry of Justice, prisons (including our local remand prison - HMP Norwich), the courts and the Norfolk and Norwich University hospital.
​
We are a male-only service. Our female service users are on our bespoke blended female unit (Whitlingham ward) on the Hellesdon Hospital site (NR6 5BE)
