A hospital porter is involved in almost every situation in the hospital. They travel long distances every day, supporting patients and staff as they journey through hospital sites.
Uniquely, at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, those journeys often take them past many extraordinary pieces of art or history, as they are homes to one of the largest and oldest collections of fine art and heritage in hospitals in the UK. The Art of Portering project has informed a revamp of the art displays at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals, and brightened up the porter’s routes.
