Stobhill ACH has opened the doors to its brand new acute mental health wards. The £10.7m purpose built wards, represent the latest in clinical thinking and design and mark the future of inpatient care in mental health facilities.

The two wards – Elgin and Appin – have space for up to 40 inpatients, with Elgin dedicated to adult acute mental health inpatient care and Appin focusing on older adults with functional mental health issues.

The new facilities offer light, airy and welcoming spaces for patients, their families and staff. A key highlight is the internal garden courtyard landscaped with flowers and herbs which provides a peaceful space for contemplation and visiting.

The new facilities were delivered through a partnership between hub West Scotland, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) and Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP). The project architect was Keppie Design and construction was undertaken by BAM Construction.
