Breathe poet, Arji Manuelpillai, roamed through St Thomas’ Hospital, having brief but meaningful encounters with NHS staff members, and asking them to write a line in response to the prompt, “Love is…”
Based on their conversations, Arji prescribed staff with a poem to take away, offering a creative moment to pause in their day.
Arji then collated all of the responses to form this beautiful poem, a beacon of positivity in these challenging times.
A big Breathe thank you to Arji, NHS staff who shared and connected with us, and to Guy’s and St Thomas’ Charity – who generously support our Breathing Spaces programme.
We were honoured to open this year's TEDxNHS with a talk on the science of singing for recovery from postnatal depression. It's a celebration of the power of music and togetherness for healing. Watch until the end for a heartwarming surprise.
