The advocacy service is available to service users on the wards of the mental health unit at Tameside General Hospital (Day hospital service users with an enhanced care plan in place). There is also a service for older people, wards 21, 21A, 21B, Woods Hospital and Hyde day hospital. One-to-one advocacy is provided by paid advocates. The Project aims to work towards self advocacy. Referrals can be taken by phone and our aim is to establish contact as soon as possible.
