St. Luke’s is founded on the principle that specific medical, mental health and learning-related issues cannot be addressed separately from the wider social and emotional needs of our patients.

In particular, we believe that patients should not fall into a gap between mental health provision and learning support. St. Luke’s multidisciplinary teams offer individual care programmes in relaxed, supportive and peaceful surroundings. We see recreation and learning as more than just adjuncts to treatment – they are an essential part of each patient’s programme.

St. Luke’s promotes a culture of respect, courtesy and dignity for all individuals. Each patient’s care is - as far as is safe and practical - guided by principles of choice, decision making and empowerment.
