Admission papers, annual single number series - Northfield Mental Hospital, later Hillcrest Hospital (GRS/17120)

This series contains patient admission papers for the Northfield Mental Hospital, later Hillcrest Hospital, from 1960 to 1980.

Records contained on the files may include patient notes, correspondence with the referring doctor, statement of particulars, clinical summaries, psychiatric case history, blood results and ward notes.

These files relate to patients treated between the 1960s and the 1980s. There are however some files which document treatment before this date. Patients were often moved between institutions in the courses of their treatment, and consequently these patient files may contain documentation relating to various hospitals. Some files have multiple admission numbers recorded on the file cover.

This series contains only a small number of the extant admission papers. When Hillcrest Hospital closed in 1994, patient records were sent to Glenside for storage and were maintained in alphabetical order (see GRS 12609). It is unknown why the small number in this series was maintained in its original admission number order.

Arranged by annual single number.
