Delwyn Evans from Dolgellau would like to make contact with people from his February 1962 PTS.
Guestbook entry by Clwyd Wynne I have the names of those who were in the same PTS as Delwyn, they were Thomas George Morgan Davies, Michael Williams, Brenda Harley Woodcock, Derek Miles, Norman Victor Smith, Gwyneth Parry and Shirley Roberts. I think that Michael Williams now lives in Moelfre on Ynys Mon. I'm sorry but I cannot put the names to all the people in the photo but I do recognise Michael Williams. Clwyd has details of all PTS's dating back to the fifties, please contact us if you require information about your PTS. E mail from Keith Warburton 17th June 07 'PTS Group. Clwyd dont you recognise Mrs. Arnold Ainslie?She and Arnold will be attending my sons wedding July14th in Saint Johns, Yours etc Keith' Guestbook entry by Michael Williams see full message By the way I cant recognise myself in the PTS photo! I became a CPN when I came to the Island and last year recieved a Lifetime Achievment Award at the MH awards in Cardiff. So not bad for an old un!!! Anyway I have returned to do a bit of carpentry these days. Guestbook entry by Delwyn Evans Nice to see we have found Michael Williams from my PTS, I am sure most of us are around somewhere.Like most of us reirement came to me in 1999. After leaving Denbigh in 1965 went to Barnet in North London to do my General training then to Birmingham to do Child psychiatry. Guestbook entry by Peter Wilson Many of you will remember that until 1966, the hospital was run as two seperate units - male and female, with the Chief Male Nurse running the male side, and the Matron running the female side. The only time there was integration (officially) was at dances etc. In 1966, an advert came out inviting male nurses to apply to work on the female wards as 'Deputy Sisters' Three male staff nurses were appointed as a 'pilot scheme' - George Dunn, Eddie Edwards and myself. After three months when we had experience on a number of the wards, Eddie became Charge Nurse on 7a ward, George on Afallon ward and me on 7b ward. I think most of the female staff welcomed us, but some of the older ones - particularly the Ward Sisters, were a bit dubious at first because as well as being men, two of us were also SRNs! Anyway, it seemed to work, and gradually more and more integratiion occured. Anyone else got memories of the early days of integration? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
