The Art of Healing Exhibition

The Art of Healing Exhibition showcases the creative talent of individuals working within the NHS. Working in healthcare is often a balance between the sciences and humanities; maintaining a clinical detachment whilst remaining empathetic and compassionate for patients and their relatives. Faced with difficult and emotionally intense situations on a daily basis, many healthcare professionals have developed creative processes for dealing with the tensions of their work-life. Our artists come from a variety of disciplines, backgrounds and geographical locations and the stories that accompany the artworks are as beautiful and fascinating in their honesty as the paintings themselves.

The Art of Healing Exhibition focusses on the creative talents of the healthcare professionals within the NHS and will raise money for the charity "Lifebox" which promotes safer surgery and anaesthesia around the world.
