Berkeley-Hill, superintendent of the European Hospital    Memory Plus Program Review   now known as the Central Institute of Psychiatry (CIP), established in 1918), was deeply concerned about the improvement of mental hospitals in those days. The sustained efforts of Berkeley-Hill helped to raise the standard of treatment and care and he also persuaded the government to change the term ‘asylum' to ‘hospital' in 1920.
