A six year retrospective study was performed on the referrals to a fast stream rehabilitation unit in Plymouth (‘114’). In the wake of recent hospital closure, an historical perspective on the changes within the service and the model of our new rehabilitation service is presented. Clinical features, demographical details, outcomes and duration of stay were examined. New strains have been put on acute psychiatry resources and it was demonstrated that the rehabilitation process has had a beneficial effect on acute general psychiatric bed usage.
