A tag has been placed on Brookside Adolescent Psychiatric Unit, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. John254 19:58, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi! It's no problem. You might just want to spend some time re-writing it so it looks more along the lines of our other articles. Maybe you want to copy and paste this into User:Philipch/brookside or something and work on it? Just an idea. Here's the text below:

Brookside is an adolescent psychiatric unit - a hospital for adolescents - in Ilford in north east London, and is part of the North East London Mental Health Trust [NELMHT], a trust within the NHS. It takes referrals from anywhere in the United Kingdom, but the large majority come from the London boroughs of Redbridge, Waltham Forest, Barking, and Havering.

Brookside is a 'Tier 4' service dealing with the most severe forms of mental health problem, taking both day and in-patients [11 beds], rather than working 'within the community'. The different levels or 'tiers' of service 1 - 4 are provided by Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services CAMHS.

There is a staff of 60 plus, covering the disciplines of psychiatric nursing, occupational therapy, clinical psychology, clinical psychiatry, systemic therapy, and education.
