These grand architectural monoliths housed hundreds of people in various sites at their peak, across the countryside of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and offered care to mental health patients for over a century. Despite this, many will know the asylum complexes from whistle-blower accounts or newspaper articles declaring them unfit for purpose and highlighting incidents where negligence was commonplace.

    of adequate domiciliary services and transport would enable a number of patients of the type at present occupying hospital beds, especially in mental hospitals, to be looked after within the community, {paragraphs 16, 120-133 (16) We see the elderly in our society as showing two distinct but related features. First that they are increasing in number and hence will call upon more and more of the available health and welfare services. Second, that many more than previously after they reach 65 and have given up work will live for a further 20 years or more. During these years they should be given every opportunity of remaining active physically and alert mentally. Between the familiar contact of home life and admission to long term or permanent hospital stay there should be interspersed a number of supportive and curative measures. These constitute the community services, {paragraphs 9-15 and joo-jaaf) (17) Since the general practitioner, particularly when based on a group practice or health centre, already has a complete list of elderly persons in his practice and has made contact with the great majority, his role is seen as the initiator of an at risk register and co-ordinator of various services available to his patients, {paragraphs 94, 95 and 132) (18) Health visitors should devote more of their time to the elderly and their training ought to include more emphasis on the problems of mental illness in the elderly, {paragraphs 134 and 135) (19) The home nursing services might further increase their services to this group of patients and

  • Building up Our Health: the Architecture of Scotland’S
    Building up our Health: the architecture of Scotland’s Building up our Health Building up our Health historic hospitals From the day we are born we all have reason to visit the many hospitals which distinguish our towns, cities and villages. They have evolved from the almshouse and the philanthropic initiative of local lairds, to the municipal benefaction of the Victorian Infirmary and the streamlined designs tailored for today, contributing significantly throughout to our national identity. Whether we prefer the homely scale of the cottage hospital or the vast microcosm of a nineteenth century sanatorium, this richly illustrated book shows how hospital architecture has adapted over the centuries in response to medical advances, changing philosophies and the necessities of their day. The informative overview closes with a look at their continued evolution to a sustainable future.
