Priory

Priory is thrilled to introduce a groundbreaking treatment for those struggling with over-control. Radically Open Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (RO-DBT), is a new evidence-based treatment programme available at our Roehampton hospital 📣 While self-control is often seen as a virtue, too much of it can lead to challenges such as social isolation, strained relationships, and mental health issues like anorexia nervosa, OCD, and depression. RO-DBT is designed to help individuals regain balance and enhance their emotional well-being. The 26-week programme will be held every Friday from 10:30 am to 1:00 pm via Zoom. Since it's an open group, you can join at any time—no need to wait for the next session.

Today is Makaton International Awareness Day, and we’re excited to introduce you to Daniel, our Makaton superstar! 🌟 At The Spinney, we couldn’t be prouder of Daniel, a resident with Down’s syndrome and communication difficulties, who recently took on the incredible challenge of leading a Makaton training course! Makaton is a unique communication system that uses signs and symbols to support spoken language, helping individuals with communication difficulties express themselves more effectively. This is Daniel’s main form of communication, and with years of experience, he’s a true pro. His kind and caring nature shone brightly as he patiently guided our staff through over 250 signs, even hosting a Q&A session where he answered their questions with ease. Although he was initially nervous, Daniel’s excitement grew as he was greeted with a big round of applause. He embraced the spotlight, teaching, joking, and even dancing during breaks! 🕺 Daniel’s dedication didn’t stop there - he ensured everyone received their certificates with his signature ‘Dan the Man’ handshake and eagerly asked when he could lead the next session. We’re so proud of Daniel for sharing his skills and making the day extra special for everyone involved. We can’t wait to see him shine again! 💬 Chelsea Riding, Home Manager, said: “We are super proud of Daniel for helping others and making the day extra special!” The Spinney is located in Bamber Bridge, a suburb of Preston, Lancashire.

💬 “Wine o’clock culture is killing middle-aged women.” New World Health Organization (WHO) data. showcased in the Mail Online, shows a stark rise in alcohol misuse, especially among women: ℹ 33.6% of people reported 'heavy episodic drinking' in 2019, up from 29.8% in 2026 ℹ In women, the rate increased from 13.8% to 21.7% Dr Niall Campbell, a consultant psychiatrist at Priory Hospital Roehampton, comments on these alarming trends: “Every day, I see more and more middle-aged women in our alcohol addiction services. This is a generation which is drowning in Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a serious cultural issue. Women are drinking earlier, and more.” His insights underline the urgent need for greater awareness and intervention. Priory advocates for the new government to enhance addiction services and provide better support for those with co-existing mental health conditions.
