our philosophy

The Burrswood Hospital care team is committed to the principle that the patient’s physical, emotional and spiritual needs are all of equal importance in the healing process. Within a framework of medical expertise and inter-disciplinary treatment, Burrswood patients experience care that centres on them; the team accepts them for who they are and believes in them as individuals. They feel heard, and enjoy the time and space they need to recover. 

People of any faith or none are warmly welcomed. The Christian faith that infuses every dimension of Burrswood is offered as a gift and is never imposed on anyone. 

Patients benefit from individual, comfortable rooms, the natural beauty of the extensive grounds and from food carefully prepared from a broad menu.

As a result, people often rediscover a new meaning and direction for their life at Burrswood. Sometimes, by offering a different perspective, it is possible to make a diagnosis that has eluded others; sometimes healing is more fully achieved; sometimes a patient finds or renews their faith.

Professional, quality care which helps people feel safe, and which involves them in their own treatment, fosters recovery in every sense. Members of the Burrswood team regularly witness lives changing beyond all expectation.
