Glan Clwyd Hospital

Glan Clwyd Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty Glan Clwyd) is a hospital in Bodelwyddan, Denbighshire, Wales.

It is one of the major hospitals of the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.

A report by Donna Ockenden claiming “institutionalised abuse” at the Tawel Fan ward at the Ablett Unit was published in May 2015. Families described seeing patients "constantly crawling on dirty floors" and being "like a zombie...drugged up".[1] As a result seven employees were referred to the Nursing and Midwifery Council and three to the General Medical Council. Chief Executive Trevor Purt described the treatment of some patients as “shocking, inexcusable and unacceptable”.[2]
