A project to give NHS staff a voice through creativity is set to be captured in a short film.<\/p>\n
Sunderland University’s NHS Darkroom has been teaching clinical and non-clinical staff to take and print their own images since 2022, to “shape how their working lives are seen and understood”.<\/p>\n
The research project, led by lecturer, photographer and former NHS nurse Johannah Churchill in partnership with Newcastle Hospitals Charity, has now secured funding to create a short documentary.<\/p>\n
Churchill said the scheme allowed staff to tell “their own story in their own way”.<\/p>\n
She said: “Photography and the arts let us tell the stories that don’t always get told, and to build bridges between people who might not otherwise see each other’s lives.”<\/p>\n
The university’s medical students also took part in the project for the first time this year, with an exhibition bringing participants together last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A project to give NHS staff a voice through creativity is set to be captured in a short…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":724556,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[6225,6485,6486,1120,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-724555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/724555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=724555"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/724555\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/724556"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=724555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=724555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=724555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
