Well Dressing @ the Royal & London Road Community Hospitals
We spent a week creating 6 well dressings at The Royal Derby and London Road Community Hospitals with patients, staff and visitors.
At the Royal we worked in maternity, near the staff cafe, in the main hospital, and in the Kings Treatment Centre. At London Road we worked on the Ward 4 with the older people and near the Blood Clinic in the main entrance.
The theme of the well dressings were based on Celebrating 10 years of AirArts delivering the Arts in the hospitals.
The well dressings were displayed in the open air courtyards for a week.
