Priory Hospital Bristol is an elegant 18th century country residence set in beautiful parkland close to the centre of Bristol, less than 5 minutes away from the M32 leading directly onto the M4/M5 motorway.
Bristol is part of the Healthcare Division of Priory Group. It has 77 beds over seven wards varying from Eating Disorders, Acute Mental Health, Adult Psychiatric Intensive Care, Acquired Brain Injury, Huntington’s and Dementia, along with a growing outpatient therapy service.
The Priory purpose is to make a real and lasting difference for everyone we support through supporting our service users to ‘Live Your Life’. Our values are:
