Caswell Clinic Patient Magazine
Caswell Chat Patient Magazine is published by patients at Caswell Clinic within Glanrhyd Hospital, Bridgend. S.Wales UK. The magazine covers almost everything; News, Nature, Activities, Gardening, Arts/Crafts, and a few Health Thingies too! More importantly, this is all sprinkled with a diverse and varied array of articles from individual perspectives and experiences, from Mental Health to Kilimanjaro. Varied is very much the word. Apart from having a good read we hope you will leave with a better understanding of Mental Health too.
Caswell Chat also has a great archive witnessing all the changes and developments that have occurred at Caswell Clinic over the years along with the people who have contributed to its past and present community.
We welcome your feedback especially regarding patients work as some patients have little or no interaction with the outside world, therefore, it will be rewarding that their creativity and abilities is being shared with a wider audience through the Caswell Chat.
In the meantime, welcome to our community at Caswell Clinic via the Caswell Chat

Retro Computers
Flight sims are a rarity on modern consoles probably because gamers do not have the patience to sit and learn how to fly a plane with realistic physics preferring a quick blast instead. As you can see by modern standards, FA18 Interceptor’s graphics are basic but you must remember this was released in 1988.
