Rowanwood Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)

Rowanwood is a psychiatric intensive care unit (PICU) based at the Carleton Clinic in Carlisle. It is a mixed sex ward with ten single rooms, all of which have en-suite facilities. Rowanwood is a Cumbria wide inpatient unit that offers intensive nursing support and therapeutic interventions to people who are assessed as requiring high levels of care in a safe and secure environment. The unit is designed for short term care (ideally no more than eight weeks) but length of stay is determined by the clinical needs of patients and their move towards recovery.
