DESIGN AND ENVIRONMENT
Our Design and Environment programme transforms and enhances clinical spaces, tailored to meet the needs of our hospital audience. We work with renowned partners who specialise in health, technology and environmental design, to create the optimum healing environment for our patients, families and staff.
-
ARTS FOR ALL
We know that prolonged hospital stays can often result in stress, boredom and loneliness for patients of all ages. In partnership with staff, patients, artists and partners, we designed our Arts for All programme to provide meaningful cultural opportunities, which offer distraction, entertainment and social interaction.

FUTURE HOSPITAL
We work with a diverse range of health technology partners with the aim of further investing in healthcare technology to elevate patient care and empower and enhance our staff.
-
COMMISSIONS
An essential part of our arts and design programme includes working with emerging and established artists to produce unique commissions for our hospital sites.

Research has shown that visual art has a positive effect in healthcare settings. Our visual and digital arts collection, displayed in Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, is made up of over 1,800 artworks, many of which are bespoke commissions.
