Chelsea and Westminster Health Charity is relaunching its popular tours of the art treasures that can be found in the hospital.
The hospital’s visual and performing arts programme is funded and run by the Charity.
Volunteer Linda White will conduct monthly tours of the art which will be free and open to everyone – but which may be of particular interest to Foundation Trust members and staff who are new to the hospital.
Previously, these tours proved very popular with healthcare professionals visiting the hospital, architects, art groups and the general public at large. The tours also serve as an excellent induction for new staff, helping with orientation and art appreciation.
Each tour will last approximately 45 minutes.
