Arts & Health Education, Training & Research Programme
Our organisation has been delivering for over twenty years various Arts and Health bespoke education and training programmes for medical, nursing, students and students from other health disciplines as well as the arts and humanities. One of the areas where we are increasingly delivering creative professional development activities is with healthcare staff who recognise the significance of engaging with personal creativity to support enhancing professional practice. Arts Care Education and Training Programme also involves international professionals and students and links with various local and international universities.
Alongside the education and training elements of this programme, Arts Care is involved in research initiatives contributing to the growing local and international evidence base. A keen focus of Arts Care is to nurture and open an exploratory space for investigation and dialogue that recognises and combines arts-based methodology and clinical methods of securing relevant evidence so that richer textures of research evidence come to the surface.
