Welcome to the Ansel Group
Ansel is the only nationally available, independent healthcare organisation solely dedicated to providing in-patient assessment and treatment for people with personality disorders who may have additional complex needs and have challenged other service provision. Drawing on a team of experienced clinical practitioners and professionals in the field of mental health and led by some of the most respected figures in the sector, Ansel will deliver a community of mental health care services that will make a real and positive difference in the lives of all involved.
Offering our services to the NHS and other independent sector providers, Ansel will deliver an integrated healthcare pathway which will be focused on providing services that remain relevant to our patients whilst enabling consistent competency, high quality, best value and inherent flexibility.
Our first purpose designed and built in-patient clinic will open in Nottingham early in 2010, followed by a second in 2011. Additional provision across an integrated healthcare pathway is planned to enable delivery of a national ‘community of communities’ to address the needs of this challenging, vulnerable and marginalised group of people.
