Healthcare in Prisons

With the responsibility for healthcare within the UK prison system being transferred from the Prison Service to local PCTs, new opportunities have arisen for innovative service providers such as Care UK to develop new ways of delivering prison healthcare.

We work closely with PCTs and the prison healthcare teams to develop solutions that meet local requirements. These range from a complete healthcare package to the provision of specialist clinicians such as GPs or dentists.

Examples of the types of services we can provide are:

• Health education and promotion
• Health screening and monitoring
• Health protection and infection control
• Primary mental health services
• Smoking cessation
• Exercise and diet advice
• Sexual health
• Substance misuse
• Dental services
• Ophthalmology services
• In and out-of-hours GP services.

To find out more about the services we can provide, please contact our business development team.
