  • Mental Health Services North East Sector Annual Report 2003/04
    NorthEast Sector Annual Report 2003 – 2004 The new Arran Centre The new Easterhouse Community Health Centre – incorporating Auchinlea Resource Centre and the previous Health Centre 1 Section 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The last year within the North East sector has been another period of significant activity. In comparing the prospective developments from last year’s report, much has been achieved and this introduction will cover some of these achievements later on. Firstly though it is worth recalling that the driver for the production of Annual Reports came from what was then the Divisional Clinical Governance Committee. The North East Sector received very positive feedback when the sector report was presented to the committee last year and also by written feedback in the form of a standard evaluation report. Looking back over the past year and the targets that were set then, the following key milestones have been achieved: • Wyndford Lock Nursing Home has been closed and patients have been accommodated in alternative forms of accommodation. All staff have been redeployed to alternative posts. • A new North East addiction Unit is about to open at Stobhill which will mean that Ruchill Hospital will at last benefit from improved patient activity space and staff will have some changing facilities. It will also result in a reduction of admission beds in each ward from 30 to 24, creating much needed patient activity space at Parkhead. • A new North East IPCU will open within the next few weeks at Stobhill which will have dedicated Consultant and Staff Grade Psychiatrist cover. This will also increase the amount of much patient activity space at Parkhead Hospital.

  • Carron Company & Eastern Europe
    Carron Company & Eastern Europe The Export of Industrial Technology to Eastern Europe from Carron in the Late Eighteenth Century: Russia & Silesia Geoff B Bailey When the Carron Ironworks was established in 1759 Scotland was still a rural country. Despite the use of steam engines in a handful of pits, it was technologically backward and its inhabitants reflected the pre- industrial culture. They were ignorant unskilled workers, unwilling to adopt new working methods and content to earn enough to survive upon. There was no enterprise culture, except amongst its merchants, and there were no large manufacturing plants to compare with those in other countries. Scotland’s main chemical product, salt, was produced in a traditional manner organised as little more than a cottage industry. From its conception the Carron Ironworks relied upon foreign expertise. Even refractory bricks could not be made locally and like the hearthstones and timber axle for the water wheel had to be imported from England. Whilst Cadell saw to the day-to-day management of the works, the other two founding partners, Roebuck and Garbett, scoured England in search of the right sort of hard-working knowledgeable foundryman whom they tried desperately to entice northwards. William Downing, a carpenter, millwright and bellows maker was poached from a foundry in the Midlands along with his fellow countryman Thomas Bowne. They were told to bring only two of their workmen, as the intention was to “train Scottish labour for future use.” As was usual, they brought with them family members to help and Downing’s nephew was put in charge of the millwrights.
