Summary
In Spring/Summer 2012 Paintings in Hospitals collaborated with the Victoria and Albert Museum to bring the therapeutic benefits of museum quality artworks to patients, staff and visitors of the Great Western Hospital, Swindon. Transformations: digital prints from the V&A collection brought together a range of artists who work with computers as an expressive and experimental medium. All of the prints featured in the exhibition had never been exhibited outside of the V&A, and in some cases they were displayed for the first time.

The charity has a collection of 4,000 original artworks, which are available to the health sector for loan, and implements interactive art projects and exhibitions with museums.
