Healing Arts

Koan 2

Healing Arts is the arts in health department of the Isle of Wight NHS Trust. Healing Arts seeks to provide a comprehensive range of high quality programmes linking the arts with healthcare to bring about recovery from illness, improvements in health, and promoting the wellbeing of patients, staff and the Island community.

Please view the art work on display at St Mary's Hospital via the Art-walk here.

Here is a collection of short films that have been made for persons isolated on a hospital ward, in a Nursing or Residential Home, or isolated in their own home, to watch and to help them stay in touch with the beauty of the natural environment. View the collection here.

Patient and visitor car parking charges are resuming on Wednesday 1 June 2022.

Effective from Monday 14 March 2022, our visitor policy has changed to allow patients one visitor a day, for up to an hour.

This applies to all wards, except our Intensive Care Unit. Visiting slots can be pre-booked between 10am and 8pm.

This will be reviewed regularly based on the current situation at St Mary's Hospital alongside the latest guidance from UK Government and NHS England.

Those with symptoms of a respiratory infection, including COVID-19, and a high temperature or who feel unwell, should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people until they feel well enough to resume normal activities and they no longer have a high temperature.

If your symptoms are serious, or get worse, contact NHS 111.

Everyone that visits a Trust building is required to wear a face covering and maintain good hand hygiene and social distancing at all times.

Please visit our Patients and Visitors page for the latest guidance. This page was last updated on Thursday 31 March 2022.
