Welcome
In 2006, Josie Reed, the Chair of the Arts Strategy Group (ASG) at
the Royal United Hospital Bath NHS Trust (RUH), successfully applied
to the Arts Council England (ACE) for a three year grant towards the
appointment of an Arts Programme Manager (APM), to continue and
expand the existing exhibitions programme, and to develop a programme
of artists’ residencies for the benefit of the hospital community.
The RUH wanted the arts programme to become firmly instilled into the
fabric of the hospital community and environment, and our mission over
the past three years has been to provide an inclusive arts programme
that offers variety, inspiration and innovation, bringing tangible benefits
to patients, staff and visitors.
This brochure has been produced as part of our final evaluation for the
Arts Council England, and on behalf of the ASG and RUH I would like to
thank them for making the work of the ASG possible.

Art at the Heart of the RUH

It is recognised that the arts have a key role to play in delivering
an improved patient environment
The idea of embracing arts as an integral part of hospital
design has been promoted by NHS Estates, The Prince’s
Foundation, CABE and The King’s Fund
In addition, in 2007, the Department of Health carried out
a review of arts and health activity in the UK. The review
demonstrated that the arts have a significant contribution
to make in improving the wellbeing and health of patients,
service users and carers, as well as staff and those working
in health and the arts
At the Building Better Healthcare’s National Patient
Environment and the Arts Conference 2009, in London,
the Chairperson and special advisor on health at CABE
(Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment),
Susan Francis, told delegates how encouraged she was by
the past decade’s major shift from a general perception that
art might actually impact beneficially on the speed of patient
recovery, to a situation where all the evidence is that it very
definitely does (Health Estate Volume 63, May 2009)
The arts programme offers many benefits to our hospital
community, including:
»
»
»
»
»
Opportunities for patients, visitors and staff to experience
and participate in the arts Development of closer relationships between the RUH and
the community it serves
Scope to stage activities and events that expand the
experience of art and creativity Support for the work and development of local and regional
artists
Promotion of the RUH as a public space for quality arts
projects
The Royal United Hospital Bath NHS Trust provides acute
treatment and care for a catchment population of around 500,000
people in Bath and the surrounding towns and villages in North
East Somerset and West Wiltshire.

The arts programme is managed by the ASG and is under the
umbrella of the Estates and Facilities Directorate at RUH. The
ASG is charitably funded from a number of sources to deliver a
programme of integrated arts projects for the enjoyment, health
and wellbeing of patients, staff and the wider hospital community.
The programme covers the visual arts, music and literature
through exhibitions, performances and readings, together with
artist-led workshops for both patients and staff.
The ASG meets quarterly; membership is comprised of one
Executive Director, a Non-Executive Director, clinical and nonclinical staff, and invited members of the local community
and universities who either are able to offer contribution and
support to the programme or are representatives of other arts
organisations.
The ASG was set up under the umbrella of the RUH Charitable
Funds (Charity number: 1058323). The new, recently appointed
Chairman is Steve Boxall, also Head of Capital Projects at RUH.

Exhibitions Programme
The temporary exhibitions programme shows a diverse and
high-quality range of artworks throughout the ground floor
central corridors of RUH, and includes painting, printmaking,
photography and textiles. Subjects range from local history
and international photography to art with a medical or scientific
interest. For example, artist Gus Cummins has epilepsy: he
produced a body of work around this condition, which was
shown at RUH in 2008, and which gained him a first prize in
the DaDA Fest Awards (Disability and Deaf Art Awards). We
have presented exhibitions by local support groups, including
a project through NESA (North East Somerset Arts) called ‘Out
of the Blue’, a postnatal depression support group who use the
therapeutic benefits of the arts to overcome this common and
debilitating condition.

The exhibitions are real highlights in our arts programme and we hold four major shows each year.
Most of the artworks are for sale, and the commission from sales is channelled back into the arts
programme.
Enquiries about sales can be made directly to the APM or through our website, www.ruh.nhs.uk/art,
which has details of past, present and future exhibitions.
Private Views attract support from the Chair of B&NES and the Mayor of Bath as well as other regular
supporters. The Great Western Wine Company kindly sponsors these events.
Highlights of our programme have included regular shows from the Royal Photographic Society, which
is based in Bath, among them the Annual International Print Exhibition and the Members’ Bi-Annual
Exhibition. Over 100 works by photographers from all corners of the globe are displayed through the
central corridors.
Martyn Colbeck, Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2005, and film maker for the BBC Natural History
Unit in Bristol, presented a solo show in 2006-2007, titled ‘African Elephants’: this was an amazing and
moving series of majestic black and white or sepia images of the elephants of Amboseli, in Kenya. It
coincided with the release of his latest film, ‘Eye for an Elephant’, which was premiered at the RUH as
part of the Bath Film Festival.
In the summer of 2008 the Bath Primary Schools Bi-Annual Arts Festival was a huge success, with
over 200 young pupils from schools across the city taking part. The theme of the show was ‘Fiesta’
(South American Culture), which really brightened up the corridors. The exhibition attracted large
numbers of young people and their families to the hospital, which contributes to the promotion of the
hospital as a friendly, non-threatening environment.

The artworks were sold by silent auction and £2,500 was raised through sales. This has been donated
towards the Paediatric Courtyard Development, to extend the learning area for the Schoolroom and
offer a quiet restorative oasis for the young patients in isolation rooms.
The long-term collection can be found on the central upper floors of the RUH and several other clinical
and non-clinical areas, and includes works purchased by the ASG or on loan from artists.
We also rent some paintings through the Paintings in Hospitals Scheme (PiH), based in London, and
recently acquired a touring exhibition by Wilhelmina Barns-Graham. This artist, born in 1912, was a
key member of the St Ives Group. The series of nine lithographs will be on show in various locations
throughout the RUH during 2009-2010, including our Autumn Show. “As a frequent visitor to the RUH I have gained a
great deal of pleasure over the last two years from
the various art exhibits, for which I thank you. But
this time...my mother and I have “fallen in love”!!
Celia Smith’s geese are quite captivating and,
although I have seen her work elsewhere, the setting
and grouping at the RUH is superb.”

Animation of Outdoor Spaces
The therapeutic benefits of gardens have long been recognised, and recent research has proven
the connection between attractive and well-maintained gardens and courtyards in hospitals and the
accelerated recovery rate and general wellbeing of patients who have access or views to these outside
spaces.
Over the past three years the ASG has been developing and improving the courtyard and garden
areas of the RUH. By our working together with the Friends of the RUH, who have provided volunteer
gardeners and a small budget, these spaces have been brought back to life through the use of
temporary sculpture exhibitions and well-maintained flower borders.
We now exhibit sculpture in four courtyards, and we are working on a major renovation and
redevelopment of a courtyard for the Schoolroom and for young patients in the isolation area.

Artists’ Workshops
Our primary aim is to provide relief from worry, discomfort and boredom, and offer something that is
creative, educational and fun. For staff workshops the same applies, as staff can absorb a lot of stress
and anxiety from the demands of their jobs.
Julie says: “What really came up is that everyone wants space to get away from it all, everyone
mentioned arbours and sheltered areas to go to, and all wanted colour too. The model gardens which
were made were beautiful.” The garden will be ready by the autumn of 2009, and willow features such
as a deer and a den, created by Julie, will be part of this.
The project is funded by the Friends of the RUH, the People’s Mission Church and Bath Primary
Schools Arts Festival.
Paediatric Ward and School Courtyard
Music
In 2008 the ASG used part of their grant from the Arts Council to
fund an ongoing residency with local environmental artist, Julie
Starks, who will contribute to the design and implementation of the
courtyard with RUH grounds contractors, Silvanus, and Grounds
Consultant to the RUH, Peter Todd.
We aim to introduce a music programme at the RUH, and are already working occasionally with Bath’s
International Music Festival and Bath Spa University (BSU). The RUH is also working with BA Music
students to deliver performances and workshops as part of their Music in the Community Module.
In order to find out what the children and staff really wanted to
see in their garden, Julie spent one day per week on the ward. As
part of the launch of the consultation process with young patients,
their parents and play specialists, the youngsters were given minitrays, soil, plants and other materials, and asked to create their
idea of a perfect garden.
The former Chairman of the Arts Strategy Group, Jeremy Martin, has successfully formed a staff choir
with around 80 members.

They were also given questionnaires, and asked to either write down or sketch ideas for the area.

Poetry
The ASG organised a successful fundraising garden party, at Sheldon Manor near Chippenham, to
fund a poet in residence. Rose Flint, poet and art therapist, was the succesful candidate, and she
worked at the RUH from November 2006 until April 2007. The residency included writing workshops
for patients, poetry readings and lunchtime workshops for staff.
During the residency Rose wrote a set of poems about the RUH, and ‘Elements of Healing’ was
selected as a permanent artwork for the Atrium.

MY WORLD
My world has five suns,
A different one for every year.
The sky is sunset red
And the suns are dark golden orange.
It’s not too hot, so there are forests
Of palms and coconuts, fruit and banana
trees.
But there are deserts too
With oasis where dark blue pools
Shimmer and ripple.
Rose Flint with Patient,
Combe Ward 2007
People walk everywhere.
They wear cloaks – red inside and black
outside,
No hats and their shoes
Are made of panther feet with claws.
Poem by Alex
Children’s Ward, Autumn 2006
“I would just like to write a quick note of appreciation and thanks on behalf of the staff and
patients on Combe Ward, RUH. The ‘Poet in Residence’ service has, in my view, been a big
success. The efforts and dedication of our poet, Mrs Rose Flint, have made a considerable
difference to many of our patients at a time when they’re at their most vulnerable. The
hospital experience can be a traumatic time for many people, a time of anxiety, stress and
isolation. The service has provided an opportunity for patients to engage in thought and
imagination, and to reconnect with the world outside these hospital walls. The effects of
these magical moments should not be underestimated. I’ve seen first hand how Rosie’s work
has helped patients manage anxiety and isolation at a difficult time in their lives. It comes
with great sadness to hear that Rosie will no longer be visiting our ward.”
Many thanks

SHO, Care of the Elderly

Carnival of Dreams
The RUH Flock
In the past three years there have been regular and varied artists’ workshops on the Children’s Ward
for young patients of all ages and abilities. We also work closely with the ward’s schoolroom, and
arrange one-to-one workshops for the artists to visit patients who are convalescing at home and are
unable to attend school.
In 2006 artist Angela Cockayne undertook a one-month residency on the Children’s Ward, funded
through a B&NES Arts Development Grant.
A six-month residency with artist Edwina Bridgeman, funded through the Local Network Fund, ran
during the winter of 2007-2008. The theme of her work was ‘Carnival of Dreams’, which was inspired
by an artwork titled ‘The Procession’, made by Edwina earlier that year. The artist discussed with the
children the nature of and reason for the procession or carnival, which is a celebration and coming
together of a community; the idea was to create their own sense
of community on the ward. Seven large panels of the children’s
‘Procession’ now line the corridors of the ward.
‘Flock’ was inspired by Angela’s artwork ‘any day now…’ an installation of 364 robins made from
wax and lipstick, with champagne cork wires for their legs. The robins, usually solitary birds, come
together in this piece en masse, and the sight of this flock of robins arriving in the central courtyard
took everyone by surprise!
Angela showed the children how to make their own plaster cast robins, one for them to keep and one
to leave with the RUH for permanent display. The cast robins and drawings are still on display in the
corridor leading to the Children’s Centre.
Lyn Gardiner, Play Specialist, says: “We are so lucky to have
artists like Edwina working with young patients and their families.
Everyone involved found her an inspiration to work with.”

“Angela worked with my pupil Alex, aged 15, in his own home. It was a fantastic
experience for him as he already has a passion for modelling. He was able to learn new
techniques, work with exciting materials and discuss his work with an expert. Angela
talked to him about the qualifications
he would need and routes he might
follow to make a career in art/
modelling. He thought the afternoon
was “awesome” and has already been
experimenting with the materials
Angela kindly left for him to use. A
wonderful afternoon.”

We are Strategic Partners with Bath & North East Somerset
(B&NES) Council’s Arts Development Service, which includes
an award of a three-year grant for 2008-2011
We work in partnership with regional arts organisations
including Bath Festivals (in particular the International Music
Festival’s ‘Party in the City’), Bath Cultural Forum, the Royal
Photographic Society and NESA (North East Somerset Arts)
We are members of Arts & Health Southwest (A&HSW), and
attend meetings across the region: at these meetings there
are discussions on a wide variety of arts and health related
subjects, and they also provide valuable opportunities for
networking
We have worked on several projects with primary and
secondary schools, and in several cases they have exhibited
as part of our temporary exhibitions programme, as well as our
‘Safer Hands’ campaign
We encourage students from the City of Bath College and our
two universities to participate in our programme
As well as forging partnerships in the wider community we see the
importance of working closely with our primary partner, the Royal
United Hospital. Our slogan at RUH is ‘United in Excellence’,
which reflects our own objective: to work across all departments
and offer the best service in whatever way we can. Staff Nurse Adele O’Connor says:
“Art on this scale can be a great
distraction, particularly for some
of our younger patients. It gives
them something different to
focus on, and it also improves
the environment we work in,
bringing life and colour to our
surroundings.”

Safer Hands Campaign
The APM also works with the Nursing Department and the Infection Control Team, which has benefited
from several exciting arts projects for their ‘Safer Hands’ campaign, to highlight the importance of hand hygiene and care. These have included a poster competition for schools, a handcasting project
with patients (including two babies who were 5 weeks premature) and staff. This project has been
permanently displayed in a cabinet in the Atrium.
Nurses recently attended two workshops: the first was with poet Rose Flint, where they used brainstorming ideas to describe the significance of hands and create a series of poems. The poem titled
‘Gel’ was selected for the subsequent workshop with artist Edwina Bridgeman, in which all the
nurses taking part had to draw around their own hands onto a foam mat and decorate them in their
own style, incorporating the shapes, patterns and lines on their skin.
Staff particpation in this project allowed them to see their jobs from a different perspective, and they
were all thrilled with the end results.

The Future Direction of the Arts Programme
The positive feedback from patients, visitors and staff makes it evident that we should continue to
develop and expand the exhibitions programme and continue to offer workshops to patients and,
when possible, staff. There are several ideas which we feel are important:
»
»
»
»
The RUH would benefit from a permanent artist’s workshop programme which could offer regular
tailor-made workshops, focusing particularly on patients who have to stay in hospital over long
periods of time
The new Chairman of the ASG, Steve Boxall, would like to increase the impact of the arts at
RUH through the commissioning of artworks for all the clinical and non-clinical areas due for
refurbishment
The integration of the arts programme into the hospital’s estate planning processes, including
involvement in courtyard and interior design and colour schemes
The introduction of a ‘Percentage for Art’ policy, which will mean that any new build at RUH
will include an allowance for artworks, which must be integrated at the planning stage with the
architects
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
Over the next two years we will be focusing in particular on the new NICU development, which will be
undergoing a transformation. The creation of a new sustainable clinical building, and the refurbishment
of the existing building for parent accommodation and office space, will be funded jointly by the RUH
and the Forever Friends Appeal, through the NICU ‘Space to Grow’ Campaign. The ASG will play an
important role in enhancing the interior and exterior environment.

Oncology Isolation Rooms: Room with a View
The idea of ‘Room with a View’ was created by Alex Coulter, who works with the Arts in Hospital
project at Dorset County Hospital. Its purpose is to alleviate the stress for leukaemia and lymphoma
patients of having to spend long periods of time in complete isolation: it is based on clinical research,
led by Research and Development Manager Alistair Taylor at RUH, which shows that looking at views
of nature can rapidly and considerably reduce stress.
At Dorchester, LCD screens were fixed to the wall opposite the patients’ beds, and a camera was
placed on the top of nearby Kingston Maurward House, with a direct link to the screens in the hospital.
The view there looks over a large park with a lake in the distance. Following a successful funding bid
with The Kay Kendall Leukaemia Fund, Alex is now organising a camera, through the Dorset Wild Life
Trust, on Brownsea Island. Alistair Taylor believes that this system could adapt well for the Oncology
isolation rooms at RUH. The idea for this project is based on medical research by Professor Roger
Ulrich, an environmental psychologist and Director of the Centre for Health Systems and Design in
Texas.
Roger Ulrich said of Room with a View: “This will relieve depression and has the possibility of speeding
up recovery.”

We are looking into the possibility of installing a camera at Prior Park Gardens, in partnership with the
National Trust, so we can have our own local, familiar view.
Alistair Taylor will continue the research element of the project at the RUH.
Sculpture at the Front of the RUH
There is a large grassed traffic island at the front of the RUH, and we would like to commission a
permanent sculpture here and landscape the area around it. A public consultation was carried out at
the hospital in 2008 and publicised through the local press, and there was considerable enthusiasm
for this idea. It has been decided, however, that the current financial climate would not be sympathetic
to this project, though we would certainly like to review it again in the future. In the meantime we
are considering the possibility of building a low plinth on this traffic island for temporary sculpture
exhibitions.
This exciting programme builds on the existing strengths of the exhibitions programme and workshops,
and expands our work into new areas of improvement of the patient and staff environment.
