About us
Fromeside is an 81 bedded medium secure unit for people with a mental illness who also have a criminal history, or have risks and behaviours that mean they cannot be treated in mainstream mental health services. Fromeside provides both short term and longer term care and we have an ethos of recovery, and service user and carer involvement. We have a service for women and a range of wards for men, supporting those who are acutely unwell through to those preparing for discharge.
