(3/4) The purpose-built East Lothian Community Hospital & world-leading Edinburgh Haematology Centre host over 30 art & contemporary craft commissions, centred on improving the physical & mental health & wellbeing of patients, staff & visitors. Stay tuned for our 1st case study!
(2/4) Co-ordinated & delivered by @roundtableproj, close collaboration with clinical teams and patient representatives has resulted in art, craft & design commissions that have a measurable impact and, in some cases, are integrated directly into patient care.
Happy to see these fun projects being celebrated by @nhslothcharity and @craftscotland. Have loved working on all the commissions with a truly brilliant team of artists ⭐️
(1/4) We are delighted to be collaborating with @craftscotland to give you an insight into some recent #TonicArts commissions over the following weeks, shining a light on the value of art, craft & creativity in healthcare settings & telling the stories behind the commissions.
You may have seen the new Haematology Centre on @STVNews, or read about it on @EdinburghLive_, maybe even clicked through on a social media post from @NHS_Lothian - but do you want to see inside and hear from some of those involved? Take a tour👉https://t.co/ePTigTeFk8
This was such an amazing project that we were delighted to have supported. The whole environment is so calming and welcoming and will significantly improve the experience of staff and patients in the centre both now and in the future. 💙

It’s International Day to End Violence against Women today - seems relevant to talk about an exhibition of work we showed in #haddington 7 years ago that looked at the #eastlothianwitchhunts in the year #1661, the start of the “Great Scottish Witch-hunt”.
We decided to name that business Raven Botanicals as we were brought up with #corvids. If you don’t follow us, here’s a story we shared earlier in the week about our geriatric Jackdaw.
Another of the projects at #elch I wanted to talk about this week was @picturemaking’s Orchard project. She documented the last fruiting of the orchard at #herdmanflathospital before it was vacated. Her images are in the atrium and entrance to #mentalhealth outpatients.
We’ve been so happy to install this brilliant range of works by Alex Allan who worked closely with the #physiotherapy team at #elch to make sculptures that will be used for physical rehab programmes!
Here’s one of my favourite projects at East Lothian Community Hospital - the Sanctuary space, beautifully designed by @lippi with cloud-like artworks by local ceramicist #charlottecadzow 💛
