Arts at UHCW, Captured Through the Lens: Dance 💛

With a huge thank you to the brilliant , we’re delighted to share a little glimpse of the special moments that happen behind our ward doors, and the difference our arts programme makes to patients and their families. Funded by

First up, we’re celebrating the wonderful , who bring the beauty and joy of South Asian dance right into our hospital.

There’s something truly special about these visits. Music and movement captivates, inspires and brings smiles to faces, creating moments of calm and connection in what can often be worrying or stressful times. For a little while, the hospital fades into the background, and there’s space to pause, enjoy something beautiful and simply be in the moment.

We feel so lucky to welcome these talented dancers into our hospital and to see the joy they bring to our patients, families and staff. ❤️

Summer Exhibition - Artist Spotlight:
Anna Stiles
A Complex Pelvis


A Complex Pelvis is a series of excerpts from artist Anna Stiles’ personal sketchbook and is part of a larger body of self-initiated work which documents her own diagnosis and ongoing treatment for grade four endometriosis, adenomyosis and infertility.

This work was born out of a desire to make sense of this deeply personal experience and its name explores the language used by a gynaecologist to describe the advanced and complicated nature of these often misunderstood conditions.

Anna's work is located on the First Floor Central Gallery (by Cardiothoracic Critical Care) until September.

Summer Exhibition - Artist Spotlight:
Work of Joy (Sandy Archer)

Sandy Archer is a mixed media artist whose work captures the colour, light, and feeling of a place, and a moment in time.

Inspired by travel and everyday surroundings that often get overlooked. Sandy creates vibrant, expressive pieces that focus on the essence of a place rather than a literal representation.

Her work is rooted in a simple idea: life isn’t about getting it right, but about seeing it your way. Sandy adds detail and vibrancy to a place to bring a moment alive, so it’s impossible to forget, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and experience it differently.

Sandy also runs creative experiences that encourage people to see a place through their own eyes, colour it with their own views, and write their own story, capturing moments in a way that feels personal, meaningful, and real.

Sandy's work is located on the First Floor Central Gallery (by Cardiothoracic Critical Care) until September, and is available to purchase. a Donation of sales is made to Arts Fund.
