  • Redevelopment of Cefn Coed Hospital Site - an Exhibition of Proposals 7Th October 2015
    Redevelopment of Cefn Coed Hospital site - an exhibition of proposals 7th October 2015 Cefn Coed Hospital and the services it provides. Vision Our vision is to provide all of our mental health services in modern facilities that meet the needs of patients, service users and staff. 1 Background Cefn Coed Hospital is one of the last remaining Victorian styled psychiatric buildings in Wales. The hospital’s design and layout have been criticised in a number of reports as no longer being suitable for providing modern care. Unfortunately, it is not possible to modernise it to reach today’s quality and safety standards. It is very clear that this hospital has reached the end of its life and needs to be replaced. In 2009 proposals were agreed and backed to replace Cefn Coed Hospital and its outdated facilities with new, state of the art facilities and buildings. A rolling modernisation programme replacing the old buildings with purpose built ones both within the hospital grounds and at other sites has been ongoing since then. Overall, ABMU has had mental health projects worth around £100 million approved by the Welsh Government. New Buildings Work started in 2009 building modern replacement mental health accommodation and facilities. This includes Ysbryd y Coed (pictured left) in the grounds of Cefn Coed, which is purpose- built for patients with dementia. Other new builds in the Cefn Coed grounds are the 18-bed Gwelfor Rehabilitation Unit and two supported houses for recovering patients preparing to move back home. 2 In March 2015, the health board’s new low secure mental health unit, Taith Newydd, opened in Bridgend, replacing some of the old wards at Cefn Coed.

  • Towards a Conceptual Understanding of the Continuing Presence of The
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON FACULTY OF SOCIAL, HUMAN AND MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES Geography and Environment Towards a Conceptual Understanding of the Continuing Presence of the Psychiatric Asylum in Contemporary Urban Britain by Joshua J Green Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2016 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF SOCIAL, HUMAN AND MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES Geography and Environment Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy TOWARDS A CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONTINUING PRESENCE OF THE PSYCHIATRIC ASYLUM IN CONTEMPORARY URBAN BRITAIN Joshua James Green In the latter half of the 20th Century there has been a policy of mass psychiatric asylum closure in the United Kingdom, North America, Australasia and much of Western Europe. In the aftermath of this psychiatric asylum sites have experienced five key ‘fates’: ‘Retention’ – those asylum sites which have been retained within the health care profession; ‘Residential’ - those sites that have been converted into housing; ‘Redevelopment’ - those sites which have been reused in a separate institutional capacity; ‘Dereliction’ those sites that have been abandoned; and ‘Demolition’- those sites that have been destroyed. In this thesis the focus has been on the former psychiatric asylum sites which have been retained within the National Health Service in England and Wales. Only approximately 12 former county psychiatric asylum sites have had retention as their main ‘fate’. After uncovering the extent of psychiatric asylum retention, this thesis looked to answer two key questions: how have they been retained?; and what has led to their retention? This thesis utilised a wide variety of qualitative research methods performed at four case study sites: Cefn Coed Hospital; Kingsway Hospital; St Nicholas’ Hospital; and St James’ Hospital.
