This is lovely!
Art makes such a difference in healthcare environments.
#TonicArts
You shouldn’t have favourites… but the #TonicArts work of the @nhslothcharity.bsky.social gives me all sorts of feel good vibes!
Isn’t this lovely?
(PS: I love the #GreenSpace work too).
We are enhancing the NNU & Postnatal unit in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, with some bright and engaging artwork by Kimberly Carpenter! So far, we have had a staff engagement session to hear what staff would like to see included in the artwork. Stay tuned for updates! 🤩
#TonicArts
One of the many things that give comfort and joy to patients and staff is being in a good environment.
Have a read of what the @nhslothcharity.bsky.social have been up to with their #TonicArts programme.

Violinist and guitarist playing together.
I can’t find accounts for the Edinburgh International Festival here (though @edfringe.bsky.social is here) nor for the children’s hospital charity, so I can’t tag them.
This was a collaboration though between them all.
Isn’t it nice when good things come together?

#MusicInHospitals
Well that was lovely!
I’m sure there will be official photos to follow but I popped in to the @nhslothian.bsky.social hospital for children & young people today.
Nicola Benedetti was playing a wee concert for patients & staff.

Art installation hanging from a ceiling.
This wonderful art installation was apparently designed by local Primary School children. It’s in the main foyer, which is lovely and spacious.
Art in hospitals is another whole interesting topic!

I absolutely LOVED my visit to the community hospital on Thursday!
Part of my work involves being a trustee with the @nhslothcharity.bsky.social and it was wonderful to get out and meet some of the team on a glorious sunny day.

Yesterday we visited East Lothian Community Hospital to see our recent projects. Shoutout to our #tonicarts and #greenhealth teams! We also dropped into one of our dance sessions led by @dancebase.bsky.social , special thanks to The Blythe Trust who have helped with these enhancements.
This would be a great job for someone!
Feel free to share with anyone you think might be interested.

Exciting progress at St John's! The new staff wellbeing space is taking shape with some colourful new furniture being delivered. Working together with designer, Stuart Smith-Gordon, we're creating a welcoming retreat for much-needed breaks. Final decorating & special artwork to come! #TonicArts
I’m looking forward to visiting one of the dance classes in East Lothian later this month.
I think it sounds fun!
Meantime, back to the community hospital in Midlothian this afternoon for some tunes on the harp.
