Summary:
|
With the Capital of Culture Year still fresh in people's memories, as we enter into Liverpool's Year of Health and Wellbeing, there is an understanding that the City now needs to harness our creativity and resources to make a real impact on tackling health inequalities and improving levels of wellbeing. For many people in Liverpool the relationship between arts & culture and health & wellbeing doesn’t demand an explanation, it is well understood. However NHS and public sector organisations struggle to contract arts organisations with this expertise due to structural and cultural barriers. Samih Kalakeche will talk about how some new structures for partnership-working should provide a strong context for promoting innovation in health and social care services, and will explain the vision for how this new way of working will actively involve service users and carers in delivery and review of services. Polly Moseley will give some examples of arts projects commissioned by the PCT in 2009 and will also describe the importance and potential for mainstreaming some of this activity in 2010 our Year of Health and Wellbeing. Eddie Bauer and Kenny Thomas will talk as people who have pro-actively engaged in creative activities and can articulate how this has enabled them to become more independent and will add a crucial dimension to the discussion. This event follows on from a discussion on arts and health hosted by Engage North West at FACT from 4pm the same day. |
