Who we help 

While awareness and understanding of mental health have improved significantly, people with the most complex mental health needs are still too often overlooked.

This is where St Andrew’s Healthcare steps in. Through our work, we support people facing some of the most challenging and severe mental health conditions, providing specialist care when it is needed most.

Patient care and quality 

Patient care and quality come first in everything we do.

Everything we do is guided by a commitment to delivering safe, high-quality care and achieving the best outcomes for the people we support.

We continue to invest in our services, supported by specialist teams based in Northampton and across our locations, ensuring we remain close to our patients and the communities we serve. And we are focused on continually improving the quality of care in everything we do. 

Our CARE Values 

Our CARE values were defined by the people who work here and the people we support. They shape our behaviours and feed into everything we do. They are:

Compassion: Be supportive and understanding to everyone around you.

Accountability: Be proactive, take ownership and responsibility - do what you say you will.

Respect: Act with integrity, be open, be honest. Work in partnership with patients and carers.

Excellence: Continuously innovate, learn, improve, deliver - whatever you do, do it well.

Our charity status 

St Andrew’s is proud to be a charity that supports people with complex mental health needs.

As a charity we don’t have shareholders, meaning that any surplus we make from our operations can be continually reinvested back into delivering our mission.
