Scott Clinic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scott Clinic was a medium secure psychiatric unit located on the outskirts of Rainhill, Merseyside, England. It originated from and operated on the site of the former Rainhill Hospital.[1] The unit was named after the late Dr. Peter Scott and provided facilities for up to 50 patients across 5 wards.[2] Ivy and Hawthorn were the male admission wards, with Myrtle being the male assertive rehabilitation/neurocognitive ward. Olive ward was pre-discharge and Poplar ward was the female ward.[3]
In January 2015, Mersey Care NHS decided to close the unit permanently, after deeming it no longer fit for purpose.[4]
