Pop-up recording studio

A creative space within the hospital.

Specially trained musicians and producers bring professional recording equipment onto the ward. Patients can write lyrics and music, make beats, produce and record tracks, sing, perform—or simply listen and enjoy the session.

Each service is shaped with ward staff around the setting, patient interests and clinical priorities.
