About Ward P1

Ward P1 is a general psychiatric inpatient ward with an acute reception function for adults aged 18–69. The ward has both open and closed units and houses a total of 18 beds. P1 receives adult patients from the municipalities of Assens and Middelfart who need psychiatric assessment or treatment during admission.

P1 accepts patients with all types of psychiatric diagnoses and works with a focus on the core task. During admission, the course is planned in close collaboration with the patient, the relatives, and relevant partners.

The ward has a multidisciplinary staff group, with two permanent specialists and multidisciplinary collaborators attached.
