Skye House provides inpatient treatment for young people with conditions like severe depression, eating disorders, psychosis and obsessive-compulsive disorders.

In addition to all the bedrooms at Skye House being en-suite, there is a purpose-built gym, fully equipped classrooms, landscaped gardens and overnight accommodation for visiting families.

Skye House has been specially designed and purpose-built to meet young people’s needs and leading to substantial improvements in their care and treatment. The planning of the unit also benefited from the fact that the young people themselves contributed significantly to the planning process.

While young people are in Skye House, they will go to school, therapy groups, family sessions and individual sessions. Young people will also have time to do things that they want to do.

Every week, young people will get a timetable for the next week. Although each young person’s timetable is different, there are some routines/groups which all young people should follow.

Mull, Harris and Lewis wings are where people admitted to Skye House have their individual en suite room. There are also two dining areas where meals and snacks are taken. There is a television room in each wing.

The teachers assess and teach the young people, aiming to facilitate a return to as near normal a life at school as is possible on discharge. This is done through maintaining the mainstream school’s work or providing a curriculum appropriate to their age and ability at that time, engaging in a multi-disciplinary therapeutic programme, and providing courses to assist the social and emotional development of the young people.

Can I give birth in the CMU if it is my first baby?

If you have a healthy, single pregnancy with no medical or obstetric complications, you can choose to have your baby in the CMU.

Yes. Options for place of birth will be discussed with you at booking and during your pregnancy.

Why may I not be able to give birth at the CMU

The midwives at the CMU consider your and your babies’ health to be of paramount importance and therefore any medical or pregnancy related conditions have to be considered in deciding the best place to have your baby.

What if a complication happens during labour?

Because you have experienced a fit, healthy pregnancy, you are less likely to experience complications, however should the need arise, the highly skilled midwives will manage the situation appropriately and will accompany you to the consultant led unit.

What management strategies can I use during labour?

Midwives find that support offered by them and your birthing partner, in a warm, friendly environment enables you to maintain control of your labour and reduces the need for intervention and drugs.

Who can be with me in the CMU?

Bring with you the one or two people you choose to offer you support at this time.

What pain relief can I have in labour?

There is also a wide range of pain relief.

Midwives find that support offered by them and your birthing partner, in a warm, friendly environment enables you to maintain control of your labour and reduces the need for strong pain relief.

  • Call: 0141 201 2292

Within the labour ward, we encourage birthing partners to be present to support women through throughout their birth experience.

Birthing partners are encouraged to update friends and family on a woman’s progress thus limiting the number of direct calls to labour ward and ensuring that women remain informed and at the centre of all discussions surrounding the communication of their baby’s birth.

Visiting within high dependency will be determined by the woman’s condition.

Partners will be supported to visit and additional visitors will be guided by the woman’s condition and activity within the area.
