Description of services and support
Vital Arts are the arts organisation for Barts Health NHS Trust, the largest Trust in the UK. We are charitably funded to deliver art projects that enhance the hospital environment and, in turn, improve the patient experience. With five hospitals in east London—The Royal London, St Bartholomew’s (Barts), Mile End, Whipps Cross and Newham University Hospital–and over 2.5 million patients, we see these important civic areas as ideal places to introduce new audiences to contemporary art.
