Deadline 1 December
*

*
FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology) and Liverpool City 
Council are currently working in partnership, as part of the Waiting 
Programme, with LSHP (Liverpool Sefton Health Partnership). The Waiting 
Programme is a series of artist commissions for health centres in 
Liverpool and Sefton. Several commissions are already completed and 
underway, the most recent addition to the programme is Fiveways NHS 
Neighbourhood Health Centre in Childwall, Liverpool.*

*
?The aim of this commission is to provide a piece of artwork for the 
waiting area of the Fiveways NHS Neighbourhood Health Centre. The 
function of the waiting area is to offer users a comfortable environment 
to wait for appointments. FACT wishes to provide a very open brief at 
this initial stage. Specific areas we are interested in exploring within 
the commission include:
*

*
-       Collaborating with the library services and the developing a 
concept around learning and gaining knowledge
-       Liverpool Primary Care Trust's Five Ways to Wellbeing which 
include Connect  - Be Active  - Take Notice - Keep Learning -- Give.  
www.2010healthandwellbeing.org.uk
-       Engaging with the wider community and/ or local health and well 
being groups
-       Interactivity for users with their environment ? ?
*

*
Users of the waiting area are potentially experiencing a stressful 
period in their lives, for example, they may be unwell or waiting for 
test results.  We wish commission an artwork, which supports a positive 
experience and provides a distraction to the users situation. The 
artwork needs to have a high visual impact as well as being respectful 
of users personal space and the functionality of the space.

For a full brief, and plans of the space, please contact FACT's Waiting 
Coordinator (job share) Angharad Williams or Kathryn Dempsey via email 
to ?waiting at fact.co.uk or call 0151 707 4416.?
