Cygnet Kenney House is our new hospital for women, located in Oldham. The services provide a safe and secure care pathway for women with mental health need and are now open.
We have collaborated with the NHS to develop services to support women from the North West to be treated closer to home.

The PICU and Acute environments offer rapid access to care, supporting women to move quickly and safely through to the most appropriate and least restrictive setting. The mental health rehabilitation and recovery ward (level 2) supports individuals moving on from the Acute ward, as well as external referrals from other services such as secure, CAMHS, and more.
With us, you’ll have the chance to progress your career in a vibrant, supportive culture tailored to help you thrive.
