Adult Psychiatry Ward 1 is a locked inpatient unit whose mission is to investigate, diagnose, and treat patients with psychotic illness. Depending on bed availability, other diagnoses from the general psychiatric spectrum may also be treated. PIVA is a unit with 3 beds for psychiatric intensive care.

We work in cross-professional teams consisting of specialist doctors, ST-doctors, nurses, social workers, psychologists, care assistants, occupational therapists, and medical secretaries.

Furthermore, we offer close leadership and collaboration with other specialist psychiatric units, which we see as a strength and an asset for both employees and patients. The unit is led by a unit manager. Psychosis teams in inpatient and outpatient care collaborate closely, with common forums for patients awaiting placement and inpatients. Outpatient units work based on the FACT model. Currently, there are nine specialist doctors/consultants within the psychosis area.
