Psychiatric hospital admission in england

[claires]

Please could someone explain what the admissions process is to a psychiatric unit in england, as I am supposed to be entering one in two weeks time and I am very worried. I have heard that you are searched for anything that you could use to harm yourself. Is this true?

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me.

From Claire.
