History
Mental health services and community rehabilitation services were previously provided within hospital wards at hospitals such as University Hospital Crosshouse and Ailsa Hospital next to University Hospital Ayr. NHS Ayrshire and Arran wished to bring mental health, acute care and rehabilitation services into one centralised location. The majority of patients from Ailsa Hospital and two mental health wards at University Hospital Crosshouse moved to Woodland View, with the hospital officially opening in 2016.[2]
Facilities
Woodland View has 13 separate ward areas with 206 beds provided for patients.[3]
Accolades and recognition
Soon within the hospital opening, Woodland View has been recognised with various awards for its pioneering approaches and design. These awards include the Building Better Healthcare Award, Best Mental Health Development 2016 and the European Healthcare Design Mental Health Award 2017.[1]
