Fact Finding - Professional Studies

As outlined in the previous post, I wanted the patients and staff to be part of this project and exhibition. For that I required them to provide passages from books, poems or song lyrics that have a meaning. So a number of visits were required to discuss this proposal. At the hospice patients normally only attend one session a week. The hospice is open to day patients Mon through to Thurs. As it is predominately a different group each day I briefed each group with an overview and then discussed pieces with individual patients and staff. The hospice group have been very forthcoming and have given me plenty of information to be going on with. All of the pieces have a deep and strong meaning as you would expect and if will be hard to do justice to the relationship the patient or staff member has with their particular piece. A few and varied examples are: Footprints in the Sand by Mary Stevenson to All Things Bright and Beautiful by Cecil Francis Alexander.
