Arts in Hospital

Creative Health Specialist - Pilot project

Creative Health Specialist Caroline Barnes has been working with Arts in Hospital since May, delivering creative activities for staff and patients on the wards. Her knowledge and experience of creatively engaging older people and those living with dementia has inspired and motivated us all, and we hope to embed this in AIH activity.
