Adolescent psychiatric services differ considerably in terms of the patient groups they seek to address and in their modes of treatment (Health Advisory Service, 1986). The Prestwich Adolescent Unit is a general purpose, seven day, regional service for adolescent psychiatry, based in Salford Health Authority. Serving a population of 4½ million, it offers a mix of in-patient, day-patient, out-patient and consultation/liaison work, specialising in the treatment of mental illness.
