Moorside Ward is a purpose built 36-bed mental health unit for people in Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale.
Moorside is based in the John Elliot Unit at Birch Hill Hospital. This is a two storey building housing two single-gender wards, a fully equipped gym, multi faith room, snoezelen and therapeutic activity room.
The ground floor also houses a separate suite to accommodate clients brought in to the unit under section 136 of the Mental Health Act.

Moorside ward is now completely smokefree, meaning smoking isn't allowed anywhere in or out of 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.
