About the CW+ Arts in Health programme
Our pioneering Arts in Health programme focuses on the link between human health and
the environment, building on the robust body of evidence that outstanding design and

around our hospitals for all to enjoy. And our Arts for All programme brings daily music,
performance and creative activities into the wards, using art as a tool for healing.
Drawing on 30 years of expertise, we create environments that encourage patient recovery
and support staff in delivering the best possible care. Our Design and Environment
programme works with renowned partners who specialise in health, technology and
environmental design, to address the factors which create the optimum healing
environment. These include temperature, lighting, acoustics, air quality, closeness to nature,
wayfinding, privacy and the arts and technology.

programmes and enhancements.
