The Chronic Facility

One day there will be a health care service which caters for life with disease. Until then we have to imagine what it might feel like.
The Chronic Facility is alternative system for treating people with chronic disease, taking the service rituals and system of a restaurant and redesigning it to cater for this need.
The project suggests a future outpatient department of the NHS, with a holistic approach to health care. Providing a language to discuss issues of living with disease, treatments and diagnosis.
The show at the Royal College of Art will consist of performances of this service where the public has the opportunity to have these sculptures explained by the experts.
Come along on Saturday 26th June between 1 – 3 PM and speak to experts like Prof. Gavin Giovanonni, Prof. David Baker, Freddie Yauner (Shift.MS) and Marlo Donato (Author of Awkward Bitch).
