The artwork has been developed by arts care in residence Seliena Coyle working alongside service users and staff of the NWCC. The first piece, ‘Hope is on the Horizon,’ is displayed beside the reception desk in the foyer of NWCC. The second piece, ‘Every Sunrise is a Gift.

’ is displayed outside Ward 50. Geraldine McKay, Director of Unscheduled Care, Medicine, Cancer and Clinical services at the Western Trust said: “The aim of art work created by Arts Care is to provide comfort and inspiration to our service users, carers and staff when in a clinical setting. "These colourful pieces provide an uplifting piece of artwork and are intended to inspire hope.

Congratulations to everyone involved in this project which will bring joy and hope for people who receive treatment and care in the NWCC in the future. ” Seliena Coyle, Artist in Residence explained: “Arts Care provides opportunities for service users, healthcare staff and visitors to participate in a variety of art workshops, performances and events accessing high quality arts engagement in health and community care settings including transforming clinical environments. We have enjoyed working with service users of NWCC on this multimedia project.

” Celia Diver Hall, Lead Nurse/ Macmillan Nursing Service Manager, NWCC said: “A key element of the project was to enhance our existing environment. The artwork has been warmly received by both staff and service users. The art will be enjoyed for many years to come.
