Lishman unit next to move to New Douglas Bennett House
On Tuesday 25 August, Lishman unit will be the next to move into New Douglas Bennett House (NDBH) from Bethlem Royal Hospital.
With the moving date confirmed, the team is excited about what’s ahead for this new chapter in the life of Lishman unit, and will support service users through the move. This is the fourth ward to move into NDBH, following the same smooth and efficient transition process.
We are excited to welcome Lishman team and service users into this £60m purpose-built therapeutic space which will better support high-quality care and recovery, and improve our staff’s wellbeing.
Deputy Director, Psychological Medicine and Older Adults, Suzanne Roche said: “We are delighted to be making a long-awaited move back to the Maudsley site and into this new building. We are excited to be on the same site as our colleagues in the outpatient team and our academic colleagues in King’s Health Partners who work closely with us. As a result, we hope to improve our patients’ experience of the whole pathway. We would like to acknowledge all members of the Lishman team as they have remained committed to providing care during the time it took to be able to move the service. We cannot provide this specialist service without our staff.”
The wider programme of scheduled moves into NDBH and the Bethlem remains on track for September – watch this space for the next moving dates.
