Patients at Stracathro Hospital are showcasing their artwork following an inspiring eight-week creative arts programme delivered by Tayside Healthcare Arts Trust (THAT).

Working alongside professional artists, patients from Rowan and Willow wards explored different techniques to create vibrant, personal pieces, now on display in the Susan Carnegie Building.

The programme has helped encourage connection, self-expression and wellbeing, with staff praising the positive impact on patients throughout their care journey.

Following public engagement and the development of services, here’s important information on how to access minor injury care in Angus.

Patients are strongly advised not to self-present at NHS facilities with minor injuries. The correct way to access care is to call NHS 24 on 111. You will be assessed and directed to the most appropriate service for your needs. This may include local Community Treatment and Care Services, the Minor Injury and Illness Unit at Arbroath Infirmary, or Ninewells Emergency Department.

If it’s an emergency, please call 999 or attend the Emergency Department at Ninewells, if safe to do so.
