@LeapOfFaith_RT @Caroline7earce @cmwilliam_5 @drnickrhodes Thanks Rachel. Yes, we try to turn institutional NHS environments into welcoming, compassionate spaces. Mainly West &NW London. See our Instagram page (nightingale_project). Art in hospitals is so much more common than it used to be & can hugely improve patient & staff wellbeing

Recording of a webinar on #HealingEnvironments that the Nightingale Project’s director Dr Nick Rhodes contributed to. All healthcare environments should be designed to be #traumainformed. The spaces we work in should embody principles of care and compassion.

👇This is SO wonderful! A beautifully presented & immediately engaging documentary @BBCTwo on #QuentinBlake ‘s extraordinary career including work from the wonderful @ProjNightingale https://t.co/G36qFAr0yE

[Nightingale Project @ProjNightingale]

Enjoy, Claire! The programme covers a 70+ year career in an hour! - but succeeds in conveying something of Quentin’s genius and the remarkable breadth of his career. Great contributions from collaborators like @MichaelRosenYes

[Claire Murdoch @ClaireCNWL]

A busy houseful over Christmas and can’t wait to sit down later this afternoon with my feet up and watch this. @QuentinBlakeHQ has been wonderful at hospital art....such a generous use of his talents! So uplifting for patients and staff alike. Thank you!

Happy 89th Birthday to Sir #QuentinBlake appearing on #TheOneShow last night. My favourite illustrator - he’s done fabulous #art in #hospitals - is busier than ever & also involved in opening a new Centre for #Illustration @illustrationHQ! Great news

[Nightingale Project @ProjNightingale]

Happy Birthday to our friend and patron Quentin Blake!

[Mike Waddington @waddington_mike]

Dr Rhodes said“Quentin’s hospital work has spread beyond @CNWLNHS ... . But it all started in CNWL in 2005/2006, so I think we can take some pride in our Trust’s role in Quentin’s rather unique contribution to art for healthcare sites!”- https://t.co/5FnXZrS7n7

[Nightingale Project @ProjNightingale]

Our work in healthcare settings with @QuentinBlakeHQ is included in this new documentary on #BBC2 on Christmas Day at 4.10pm. @CNWLNHS

Hospital corridors don’t need to be dreary! Here’s a ‘before’ and three ‘after’ pictures of a corridor at St Charles Hospital @StCharlesCNWL, designed for the Nightingale Project by @fiona_grady to inject colour and lift the mood! @CNWLNHS

[Nightingale Project @ProjNightingale]

@dr_treisman Bravo! We are also working on improving physical spaces, for the same reason, in NHS mental health units. Would be interested to hear more about your approach!
