Shared Humanity: The Weight of Waiting

17 November, 2026 - 31 December, 2026 / Western General Hospital

More info coming soon!

Rosie, Alice and Ellie are nurses at Edinburgh’s Western General Hospital. In March 2026, they travelled to Northern France during their annual leave to support humanitarian healthcare work as part of FAST (First Aid Support Team).

They approached NHS Lothian Charity: Tonic Arts to ask whether a series of professional photographs which document this work could be shown in our Tonic Galleries. Those photographs, taken by Mattia Bidoli, now form this exhibition.

Tonic Arts is proud to share this glimpse into the vital and compassionate story of the work of FAST, and the personal experiences of nurses Rosie, Alice and Ellie.
