DIRECTOR OF NURS<strong>IN</strong>G<br />
GREATER GLASGOW NHS<br />

I first found out about Art in Hospital in 1993 at<br />
Cowglen as part of the Continuing Care facility.<br />
I began by seeing the work as diversional therapy<br />
and welcomed it in that context but over the last<br />
10 years my views have changed as I understand<br />
the work more. It’s essential for Art in Hospital<br />
to continue and I honestly believe that the<br />
majority of nursing staff are of the same opinion.
