Bio:
Arts and health Practitioner -facilitator and educator.
I am an arts and health practitioner with a background in nursing (RN) and & psychotherapy (MA Arts Psychotherapy).
I have been using the arts in healthcare and education for twenty years in NHS and voluntary settings and have a keen belief in the transformational power of the arts. e.g. Visual Arts Training, Dismantling the Taboo around Death workshops (2012-2018).
I am interested in training clinicians and non- clinicians to increase understanding and awareness of the research evidence and the vital role the arts can play in healthcare. I believe training that is designed and delivered collaboratively by a clinicians and artists can best brings home the power of the arts in health.
The introduction of Social Prescribing (SP) in the NHS Long Term Plan provides a serious opportunity for arts in health care education as a core component of SP and I am keen to network with artists.
In 2014 I was awarded a Winston Chuchill Fellowship to research \"Improving Communication Training and Compassionate Care using Arts based methods\".
