This Centre provides In-Patient and Day-Patient care to young people from South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire.
We work with complex and severe problems in young people from 12 – 16 years of age, who have been assessed and referred to us by the community CAMHS teams.
We offer care 24 hours per day, and 365 days per year, though many teenagers attend 5 days per week as a day attender, or 5 days per week as a resident, returning home at the weekends.
Once assessed a teenager may have to wait some weeks for a bed to become available, but we also respond promptly where there is a psychiatric emergency.
We offer a full range of physical, psychological, social and educational interventions, delivered by our multidisciplinary team.
Patients and families requiring more information should initially contact their out patient CAMHS team.
Professionals considering a referral can contact Carol Eckersley, secretary to Dr Anthony Livesey, Consultant Psychiatrist, on 0114 226 1577
The Centre is situated on the site of the Northern General Hospital, accessed via the Herries Road entrance, where there is limited car parking.
Oakwood School is adjacent to the Centre. More details about Oakwood School are available at www.oakwoodschoolsheffield.net
