Hollingworth Ward is an acute admissions ward for male adults (18-65) with severe mental illnesses, who require 24-hour hospital care.
We aim to keep you safe and provide the assessment and treatment you need in the least restrictive environment. Acute illnesses start quickly and have distressing symptoms.
We can care for you if you live in the borough of Rochdale.
We're based in the John Elliot Unit at Birch Hill Hospital, near Wardle. Click here for a Birch Hill site map.
Hollingworth Ward is now completely smokefree, meaning smoking isn't allowed anywhere in or out the hospital.
If you’re a patient on a ward and usually smoke, we have a variety of options to support you whilst in hospital. Please speak to any member of the ward team to discuss how we can support you.
