Project: Havens: Stories and Portraits of NHS Lothian Staff

NHS Lothian Charity’s Green Health and Tonic Arts programmes are proud to present “Havens: Stories and Portraits of NHS Lothian Staff.” This unique project explores the hidden sanctuaries where NHS Lothian staff find moments of peace amidst their demanding work.

Award-winning photographers and writers, Craig Easton and Lottie Davies, spent over a year capturing the stories of over 75 staff members across various roles and locations. Their residency involved not just portraits, but also photography and creative writing workshops, empowering staff to express themselves through art.

The culmination of this year-long journey is a powerful exhibition showcasing a selection of these portraits and stories.

The public exhibition of Havens at Stills: Centre for Photography ran from 28 June – 13 July 2024, and will now travel to various NHS Lothian sites for patients, visitors and staff to enjoy.

These stories also have a permanent home on our NHS Lothian Charity website.
