G4S Health Services

About us

At G4S Health Services we are passionate about providing exceptional forensic healthcare to our patients. 

We believe that excellent patient care should be accessible to everyone, and that healthcare should be respectful of, and responsive to, individual patient preferences, needs, and values.  That’s why we offer a person centered and a trauma informed model of care to all of our patients, without exception or judgment.  

We are experts in forensic healthcare with a proud history across Health & Justice environments such as prisons, police custodies and sexual assault referral centres (SARCs).  Our innovative approach to healthcare, industry leading training programmes and trailblazing partnerships with organisations such as the FFLM, UKAFNP and the FCN enable us to improve health outcomes for our patients.

The health services we provide:

Prison healthcare delivery

Across our prisons, we provide our patients with a full range of Primary Care Services, equivalent to those available in the wider community.  These include:

  • Access to a GP
  • Substance Misuse Services
  • Mental Health Services (both primary care and secondary care)
  • Social Care
  • Public Health
  • Learning Disability Services
  • Nurse led Clinics, including - triage, new patient registrations and long term conditions management

SARC healthcare delivery

We are experts in delivering SARC services across the UK.  We work closely with our NHSE and Police commissioners to ensure our patients receive the best care based on clinical excellence, best practice and a person centred and trauma informed approach.

 

Our teams receive the highest level of training, ongoing support and professional development through our Professional Development Academy.  This ensures each patient's unique and individual needs are met and that the evidence we provide for court is robust to support the criminal justice system.

 

In addition we provide continuous support for the teams involved from the initial Call handler to our Sexual Offence Examiners and Crisis workers. We recognise that a person centred approach and trauma informed care include everyone involved in the patients care. By actively protecting the mental wellbeing of our teams, we are allowing them to care for our patients.


G4S SARC’s are all CQC registered and we are proud of our CQC inspection outcomes. Our SARCs have aligned processes, this means regardless of where a patient lives, by attending one of our SARCs they can be assured of care and treatment which is gold standard. Our SARC Management team meet regularly and are encouraged to be innovative, share incident reflections and learning.

The SARC is a one stop shop for patients to receive physical, mental and sexual health outcomes as well as forensic medical examinations.  We know that for some clients this will be the only healthcare they access and we use brief interventions and onward referrals to support our patients on their journey to recover. Some of those referrals may include, but are not limited to:

 

  • Forensic medical examinations of adults and children.
  • Notifications of attendance to GPs and safeguarding.
  • Crisis intervention counselling.
  • Substance Misuse, community paediatricians, mental health referrals and any other local services which are relevant.
  • Onward referrals into ISVA, IDVA, CHISVA, Sexual Health Clinics.
