The programme also includes the reconfiguration of the Ferndene children and young people’s mental health and learning disability unit at Prudhoe.

Additionally, mental health adult acute inpatient services for Newcastle and Gateshead would be reconfigured and re-provisioned at St Nicholas Hospital’s Bamburgh Unit in Gosforth.

The new medium secure centre at Northgate will provide better mental health services for patients in the region.

As part of the Ferndene unit remodelling, two wards are planned to be converted to medium-secure standards.

These works are scheduled for completion by December next year for welcoming patients in early 2023.

Work on the remodelling and extension of the existing building at the Bamburgh Clinic will start once the Northgate and Ferndene projects conclude.

Sir Robert McAlpine noted that the work would be carried out through a project partnership with the design team Medical Architecture, Cad 21 and BGP.
