The Carseview Centre is a mental health unit in the grounds of Ninewells Hospital in Dundee, Scotland.[1] It is located on Tom McDonald Avenue, named after the former Lord Provost of Dundee,[2] and takes its name from the location overlooking the Carse of Gowrie. It is managed by NHS Tayside.[3]
History
The centre, which was built at a cost of £10 million as an adult acute in-patient care centre for the Dundee area, opened in July 2001.[4][5][6] It took over some of the functions of Royal Dundee Liff Hospital[7] and originally had 74 beds but this had reduced to 66 beds by March 2014.[5] The centre was the subject of a BBC Scotland documentary, Breaking Point, broadcast in July 2018.[8]
