About this work
Description
Stoke Park Hospital in Bristol was home to over 600 mentally disabled people at the time Ken Rees made this report for HTV West. We see what ward life is like for the children and the elderly, occupational therapy and staff meetings to discuss individual patients. Consultant Psychiatrist Alan Heaton-Warl talks frankly and in some depth about all aspects of running the hospital, the kind of patients staying there and their hopes for the future. His experienced and candid outlook at mental health provides and excellent insight into the state of mental health care at the end of the 1960s.

Notes
This film comes from the Monica Britton Medical History Collection, which was based at Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, now closed. The museum was founded in 1985 by a generous donation from the late Mr. J. Britton in memory of his wife who came from a medical family and was extremely interested in education. The collection included a wide spectrum of surgical, medical, anaesthetic, radiological and pharmaceutical artefacts, together with books, catalogues and photographs.
