Ward Philosophy of care
Ivy and Clover wards aim to provide a secure and structured environment for the people in our care, taking into consideration individual needs whilst minimising restrictions and working within the least restrictive framework possible. Ivy and Clover work to consider personal histories and trauma and develop personalised, evidence-based, person-centred care packages.
Our ward ethos is built around a model of trauma informed care. We aim to work in partnership with patients and carers to provide a holistic and multi-disciplinary approach to service delivery. Ivy and Clover provide a skilled and responsive workforce who are trained to meet the needs of the women in our care.

Daily routine
The wards daily routine includes supporting patients each morning to plan their days and to incorporate personal supportive plans, we also have a detailed ward activities timetable which offers a wide range of activities on and off the ward.
Ivy Clover staff and patients attend a mutual help meeting at 6pm each night.

Meals and drinks
We provide three meals per day, always with a variety of choice. The weekly menus are on display in the dining room and alternate each week. You are also able to have your own snacks.
If you have any special dietary requirements (such as diabetic, vegetarian or cultural) we will inform the catering service.
The ward operates protected mealtimes, to make sure you have your meal with limited disruption. We therefore ask that professionals and carers avoid contacting the ward at mealtimes where possible.
