Summary of the site

Cygnet Bostall House is a high dependency complex care service for men with a learning disability and associated complex needs. The team can also support those with additional mental health needs and behaviours that may challenge.

We want the men in our care to make their own choices and live as independently as they are able to. To achieve this, our in-house Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) supports them within our learning disability model of care. This offers support from the nursing team, psychology, psychiatry, speech and language, and occupational therapy.

Occupational Therapy Directorate

Under the leadership of our occupational therapy directors we support over 150 Occupational Therapists. Working together as a large team we provide support to each other across the group, with the opportunity to be part of specialist interest groups & become involved in service development.
