Artworks created by the children of Barts Health staff during the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic have gone on display at St Bartholomew’s Hospital.

The Guardian Service's promotional film “How does it feel when you are not heard”  won gold at the recent EVCOM London Live and Film awards.

Yunus Dudhwala, head of chaplaincy at Barts Health, will feature in a new installation, “From Where I’m Standing”, which tells diverse stories from people across the UK as a record of life in 2020. Helen Hewitt, a matron at The Royal London Hospital on the Adult Critical Care Unit, and Geraldine Cunningham, associate director of culture change, were also featured.

Alwen Williams, the Barts Health group chief executive, was interviewed by Sir Iain Duncan Smith recently on the Chingford MP’s Facebook page.

They had an extensive discussion about the Covid-19 vaccine, the Whipps Cross redevelopment, and current winter pressures.

On Friday 4 December, Peter Murray completed a 1000 mile walk around Walthamstow, raising more than £7,000 for the Whipps Cross University Hospital League of Friends.
