Lists Hospitals in England

Amersham Hospital is located in Amersham, Buckinghamshire. It is one of three hospitals in the Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, the other two being Stoke Mandeville Hospital and Wycombe General Hospital.

All facilities are 'non-emergency', and include the Haleacre Unit, Buckinghamshire's central dermatology ward, various other out-patient facilities and care for older citizens.

External shot of the unit

The Haleacre unit is a secure mental health unit. It was once used as an in-patient (residential) hospital for secure detainment, that purpose is now defunct; and therefore the unit only plays host to day-care facilities as well as therapies, mental health assessments and consultations. Due to the original purpose, the Haleacre section of the building (physically part of the rest of Amersham Hospital) is guarded by high metal fencing and visibly safe fixtures and fittings inside.

All in-patients in Buckinghamshire (involuntary and voluntary) are now taken to the nearby whiteleaf Center in Aylesbury.
