What an amazing art installation, in an NHS setting!

Brilliant work from @Lauren Morsley and all the team from @nhslothcharity.bsky.social and the Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity too.

Well that was lovely!

I’m sure there will be official photos to follow but I popped in to the @nhslothian.bsky.social hospital for children & young people today.

Nicola Benedetti was playing a wee concert for patients & staff.

#TonicArts is part of the @nhslothcharity.bsky.social programme.

I absolutely LOVED my visit to the community hospital on Thursday!

Part of my work involves being a trustee with the @nhslothcharity.bsky.social and it was wonderful to get out and meet some of the team on a glorious sunny day.

These are beautiful pictures!

I walk past them when I take my Clarsach in to play on the wards.

Well done @nhslothian.bsky.social and the NHS Lothian charity!

Our #TonicArts team have transformed the entrance at Mackinnon House in the Royal Edinburgh Hospital!
The florals used in the vinyl wallpaper were created by the hospital community in Artlink workshops, led by Anne Eliott. Artist Natasha Russell then took the artworks and created this wallpaper.

I’m looking forward to visiting one of the dance classes in East Lothian later this month.

I think it sounds fun!

Meantime, back to the community hospital in Midlothian this afternoon for some tunes on the harp.

This wonderful art installation was apparently designed by local Primary School children. It’s in the main foyer, which is lovely and spacious.

Art in hospitals is another whole interesting topic!

Our #TonicArts Collection Team have recently installed artworks within the Comely Bank Centre. 
Working alongside staff, a selection of artworks was chosen to enhance the office walls and staff rooms. @nhslothian.bsky.social 🎨

I can’t find accounts for the Edinburgh International Festival here (though @edfringe.bsky.social is here) nor for the children’s hospital charity, so I can’t tag them.

This was a collaboration though between them all.

Isn’t it nice when good things come together?
