Dotted across campus, you will find the work of artists Craig Easton and Lottie Davies as part of NHS Lothian Charity’s Havens project.

Havens has been a year-long documentary photography project featuring a wide range of NHS Lothian staff members. The project aims to promote wellbeing in the workplace and the importance of taking breaks throughout the day. Participants were interviewed and photographed in their own personal workplace ‘Havens’. As you view portraits, you can scan a QR code to hear the staff members’ stories in their own voice.

This project is delivered by NHS Lothian Charity’s Tonic Arts and Green Health programmes in partnership with Stills Gallery.
