People on psychiatric wards often report feeling bored, and say that they would like access to therapy groups on the ward to help aid their recovery. However, there are many challenges to providing groups on wards, including lack of staff with the requisite time and expertise. This article describes how a therapy group programme was designed and set up on a psychiatric triage ward. The group programme was psychology-led, with involvement from the nursing team as co-facilitators. Challenges and opportunities arising from this approach are discussed, with some suggestions for further areas of research and practice.
