To launch Creativity and Wellbeing Week, the London Arts in Health Forum (LAHF) and GOSH Arts brought together artists, curators, researchers and museum experts at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH).
It examined the ways that integrating the arts into health and social care can give children the best start in life.
The event started with performances from poet, author and spoken word artist Hollie McNish and author Cathy Rentzenbrink who spoke of their own experiences of how the arts and creativity can be used to aid recovery and produce a healthy society.
The panel discussion then brought together key figures in arts and health including Susie Hall (Head of Arts at GOSH), Caro Howell (Director of The Foundling Museum), Dr Daisy Fancourt (New Generation Thinker at the Arts and Humanities Research Council and Research Fellow at the Centre for Performance Science) and socially engaged artist Davina Drummond to discuss the social determinants of health and how participation in and access to the arts can intervene in generational cycles of poor health and wellbeing.
