Our three-year Pioneering arts-based learning project at Guys and St Thomas’ Trust (funded by Guy’s and St Thomas’ Charity) resulted in a new framework for staff development called Circle of Care, which we launched in 2016. Circle of Care helps us think about, practise and demonstrate high-quality compassionate care, and describes the ways that arts are useful in nurturing the skills required to do this.
You can read more about the project and its findings in a Lancet paper written by Suzy Willson, Director of Performing Medicine, and Peter Jaye, Consultant in Emergency Medicine at GSTT.
