Hospital Rooms Panel Talk: Be My Shelter

Join the team from our exhibition partner, Hospital Rooms, in this panel discussion.
About this Event

Join us for a vital conversation exploring the impact of racial inequality on Black and Brown staff within NHS mental health services.

We will discuss how transformative creative interventions, delivered by Hospital Rooms in collaboration with Karen Gibson MBE and Lakwena MacIver at Goodmayes Hospital, provide opportunities for disarming restrictive mental health environments.

This session will interrogate how collaborative and reciprocal partnerships between arts organisations and established NHS programmes such as the Patient Carer Race Equality Framework can directly influence the quality of care and staff experience.

Panelists : Lakwena Maciever, Karen Gibson MBE, Catherine Lund
