A Place to Be Old
You don't expect to see pets on a hospital ward, but at the Mount Pleasant and Clayponds hospitals in west London, that is exactly what will greet you.
As a nursing officer, Ralph Greaves 's job is not unlike that of the matron in an old hospital. When he arrived at the hospitals in 1983, he found them run down and demoralised. With few resources but plenty of good nursing, he managed a quiet revolution in the care of his elderly patients.
