We change the pictures in our main waiting room about three or four  times a year and regularly hold themed exhibitions. Our aim is to make sure that the room is  always attractive to sit in and sometimes also thought provoking. Other art works like Banksy's and Martin Parr's photographs are to be found in the corridors and consulting rooms.

Permanent  displays

Liz Lee & Susie Freeman
 

Since 1998 Liz Lee has worked with the textile artist Susie Freeman in an art partnership called Pharmacopoeia. They are best known for the permanent installation Cradle to Grave in the Living and Dying gallery of the British Museum. They make art with a medical theme and much of the work incorporates active pharmaceuticals which are knitted into flexible fabrics. A number of works have been based on the medical experiences of our patients. Their permission has always been sought first. The work called Sweetie hangs above the stairwell in the health centre.
