Northgate ward is an integral part of the Crisis Pathway in West Suffolk and provides 18 inpatient beds to the West Suffolk population. At times there are admissions from elsewhere in the Trust. Approximately 121,400 people are registered with a GP in this area. Last year there were 160 admissions from this catchment area. This post is based alongside the rest of the multidisciplinary team on Northgate Ward, Wedgwood House, Bury St Edmunds.

Here at NSFT we pride ourselves on being a welcoming, talented, friendly and supportive team who like nothing better than sharing their experiences and learning from each other.
