Paintings in Hospitals

Paintings in Hospitals is a national charity aiming to transform the UK's health by using world-class art to inspire better health and wellbeing for patients, carers and communities.

Studies show that art can help us stay well, aid our recovery from illness and injury, and support us to live longer, more fulfilling lives. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience these benefits.

Paintings in Hospitals is committed to bringing world-class art to everybody by providing artwork loans and creative art activities to all types of healthcare and social care.

We work in partnership with patients and carers to transform and humanise clinical environments using museum-quality art from our collection. Through art activities and creative workshops, we empower patients and carers with the skills and voice to make their own decisions about art, their care environment and their care experience.

By working together in this way, and sharing our knowledge, we can create care spaces that support the wellbeing and enrich the lives of everyone.
