The benefits of art in health settings

 
 
 

ARTaid offers a specialised service, providing unique artworks, that are created for the benefit of enhancing healthcare facilities including hospitals, hospices and other healthcare facilities.

The benefits of including well designed art in this type of environment can....

help relieve stress and anxiety for patients, staff and visitors;
provide a comforting focus;
add colour and "a human touch" to the clinical environment;
help give buildings a sense of identity and help with "way finding"; and
promote public/staff engagement, consultation and participation.
