records of care planning. The mental health sector is variable but is historically underfunded. Evidences of long term community support and a reintegration of service users is beneficial to the community. Linked joint working with local health professionals is very beneficial and proving effective. The hospital is located in South West Wales – a rural area – with strong steelwork links and high unemployment. Challenges are recruitment of skilled professionals but achievable as M4 corridor is very accessible.
