Description:

This book chapter is a report on a research project that was developed through collaboration between Rachel Louis of Vital Arts, and Luise Vormittag, Patricia Austin and Sonia Kneepens of Central Saint Martins, UAL.

Vital Arts is the arts organisation for Barts Health NHS Trust, charitably funded to deliver arts projects for the well-being of patients, staff and the wider hospital community. The project sought to find ways of improving the renal unit at the Royal London Hospital through activities and design interventions that engage and enrich patients’ experience of being in hospital.

This chapter outlines the collaborative journey that we went through; from project preparation to our conclusions and arrives at the point where we now find ourselves.
