At HM Prison Maghaberry we are committed to providing the highest standards of healthcare to prisoners in our care in partnership with the South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust. Healthcare for prisoners at HM Prison Maghaberry is provided by an experienced team of dedicated staff who provide a healthcare service for prisoners 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The healthcare team is committed to the task of bringing the values and methods of community based healthcare to the secure setting with a professionalism and commitment that lays the foundations for improved services and care.

The healthcare team is made up of qualified nurses, healthcare officers and health care assistants who all partake in continuous professional development.
