12 'tablescapes' in colour tell a personal story of 12 Oxford Hospitals Trust staff working in the areas of Cleaning, Catering, Portering and Estates across the four Trust hospitals (John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital, Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre and Horton General Hospital, Oxford). Derived from individual and group conversations, these include stories of offering or receiving help from other staff, other carers or patients, reflections and realisations had in quiet moments, or at the busiest times of day and anecdotes of creative problem-solving or the use of humour as care. These stories demonstrate the ways in which the work of support staff in the Trust is the work of caring – for patients, the communities of staff and themselves. Together, they contributed to "Our National Health: Hospital Stories", responding to the national 'prompts and provocations' offered by Kwame Kwei Arma, in the creation of a new performance. The 12 drawings are permanently installed as 12 printed vinyl table-top in cafes across the four hospital sites.Citation
