What is this about?

The #UHBristolArts Strategy and programme looks at all aspects of the 'aesthetic environment' and we know that SOUND can affect the health and wellbeing of staff as well as patients.

After a successful pilot in December 2018, we intend to programme live acoustic music, spoken word and opportunities for silent meditation as part of an Audio Advent throughout the Trust in December 2019. As part of this, more pianos will be installed, places for gentle acoustic music will be identified and spaces for silent reflection will be highlighted.

This survey invites you to share your suggestions, skills and experiences and offer links to others in the local community. The questions below invite you to say as much or as little as you like.

Please respond by the beginning of November so that we have time to follow up and finalise the programme.
