Foss Park

Foss Park is a 72-bed hospital which provides two adult, single-sex wards (Ebor ward – female adult beds / Minster ward – male adult beds) and two older people’s wards (Wold View for people with dementia and Moor Croft for people with mental health conditions such as psychosis, severe depression or anxiety).

All wards provide ground floor, single bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Each ward has access to outdoor garden areas and multiple therapy spaces, including the use of internal planted courtyards.

Foss Park also has a Section 136 assessment suite – a place of safety for those who have been detained under Section 136 of the Mental Health Act, an electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) suite and dedicated space for research and development.

In total the Trust has invested approximately £40.6m in Foss Park, which includes VAT, fees and the land purchase. The project was due to complete later this month but the hospital has opened a week ahead of schedule.
