The Nosocomial Project

The Nosocomial Project is an award-winning collaboration set up by playwright Nicola Baldwin, RLF Fellow and Co-Chair of the WGGB and Professor Elaine Cloutman-Green, Lead Healthcare Scientist at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Our work includes plays and readings, site-specific performance, and short films, for children and adults. We also host workshops, panels and collaborative events for artists and scientists, and partner events to promote cross-disciplinary conversation.

The Nosocomial Project seeks to build relationships between Scientists, researchers, patients, families and the public through theatre, shared experience, and conversation; believing that better communication and understanding are vital for managing future threats to global health and communities.

We won the 2019 CSO Partnering Patients and Citizens Award, and 2020 Antibiotic Guardian award for Public Engagement. In 2021 we partnered with Precision AMR research initiative at UCL , UCLH, GOSH and ICH to coordinate PPI and produced two Rise Of The Resistance festivals (online and in person) in July and September 2021, performances and events for Wellcome Collection, Bloomsbury Festival and site-specific take-over projects.
