This report is a result of a collaborative project undertaken by Healthwatch Richmond and Healthwatch Wandsworth. Local Healthwatch have the statutory authority to visit local health or social care services, using trained Enter and View volunteers, with the main focus on service users’ experience of care.
Holybourne Hospital (formerly Huntercombe Hospital) in Roehampton was originally used as a Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) by the Huntercombe Group. It transitioned to its new identity as an Adult Acute Unit under the Active Care Group (ACG) around 2022/23. Holybourne Hospital now cares for NHS patients referred by South West London and St George’s Mental Health Trust.
Healthwatch conducted Enter and View visits to Holybourne, in order to provide independent insight to service providers, commissioners, and the general public. This insight concerns patient experiences of the care provided as part of the SWLSTG pathway.
