Why attend?
Engagement with culture has tangible effects on people’s health. It supports individuals to thrive, and can aid recovery, shorten the length of hospital stay and reduce reliance on GP visits and medication. It encourages people to learn and gets people actively involved in their community. However, the health benefits of cultural interventions are still not well understood in clinical or community settings, and health inequalities and disability limit access and participation. There is a need for more joined up working at the strategic policy level across government, local authorities, third sector, health boards, health and social care partnerships and cultural agencies. Help explore these issues, celebrate what works well already – and spark some new inspiration and creativity.
