Kidney fundraisers visit hospital
A group from the Mini Marathon fundraisers for the Punchestown Kidney Research Fund went along to the Dialysis Unit at Tallaght Hospital yesterday to see how some of the funds were being used.
In this instance it was related to the arts scheme in the hospital. Some of last year's funds went towards the provision of arts classes in the Dialysis Unit, funding artist in residence Gillian Fields to supervise the tuition and produce a Guide to Establishing Art in Acute Hospital Renal Dialysis Services.
Pictured with Gillian are Meg Myerscough, Phena Bermingham, hospital arts officer Hilary Ross, Lorraine Hegarty-Kelly, and Martina Carey.
The Diary will post a full report on the arts project soon.
