Jump to: navigation, search

Gartnavel Royal Hospital is a mental health facility based in the west end of Glasgow, Scotland. It provides inpatient psychiatric care for the population of the West of the City; covering Hillhead, Partick, Scotstoun, Yoker, Clydebank, Drumchapel, Bearsden and Milngavie. It also houses the regional adolescent psychiatric unit and one of 3 Intensive Psychiatric Units within the city of Glasgow. Originally opened as the Glasgow Lunatic Asylum in 1814 in the Cowcaddens area of Glasgow[1], it became the Glasgow Royal Lunatic Asylum in 1824[2].

The facility moved to new premises in Gartnavel designed by Charles Wilson in 1843[3], becoming the Glasgow Royal Mental Hospital in 1931 and the Gartnavel Royal Hospital in 1963[2].

In December 1972, the Gartnavel General Hospital opened on the same site[4].

As of 2006, some of the buildings are unused.[5][6] The modernisation of Gartnavel was completed in 2007 and today serves a significant population of Glaswegian inpatients. [7].
