The top independent provider of behavioural care in the UK is Priory.
We are committed to assisting people in enhancing their health and wellness, and we recognise that this can only be done by providing personally tailored programmes that address each person's unique needs.
The Priory Group is a reputable business with a lengthy history.
Our esteemed specialists take great satisfaction in putting service users at the centre of their treatment, rehabilitation, and educational journeys and are dedicated to giving each person who seeks support from us the finest care possible.
For the people we help, our Priory promise is to provide the highest standards of safety, quality, care, treatment, and education.

Clinical excellence is Priory's strong suit.
Additionally, Priory has received ISO accreditation. With strong clinical governance standards in place, we make sure to constantly provide high-quality person-centered care, support, and education.
When an American healthcare business bought Priory Hospital Roehampton in 1980, Priory Group was established.
On 2014, we bought the Castlecare Group, one of the UK's top suppliers of local authority-funded children's services, and we also launched our first Priory Wellbeing Center in Fenchurch Street, London.
High-quality services are provided by Castlecare, a division of our Education and Children's Services business, to children's homes and specialised schools.

Priory Adult Care Services now includes Progress Care's service for young people, and Priory Education and Children's Services now includes Progress Care's service for children.
Priory and Partnerships in Care, a healthcare provider established in the UK and owned by Acadia, combined in November 2016.
This resulted in the addition of 66 sites with 1,890 beds to The Priory Group.
Aspire Scotland joined our division of education and children's services on November 14.
30 residential beds across 7 children's homes and a day school joined the division, as well as a cafe and member's gym for both students and the general public.
