Government
Inquiry recommends that trainee doctors should study the impact of arts on
healthTrainee doctors should study the impact of arts and culture on health
and wellbeing, a cross-party parliamentary group has said. After two years of
assessing the impact of using museum visits, dance classes and other arts
interventions in healthcare settings, a parliamentary inquiry has concluded the
arts can help the health service save money, tackle long-term conditions and
support “longer lives better lived”. In a new report, the All Party
Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and Wellbeing (APPGAHW) implores the
Government’s culture, health and education secretaries to develop a
cross-governmental arts in health strategy. It also calls on Arts Council
England (ACE) to support arts organisations in making health and wellbeing
outcomes integral to their work.
Interesting stuff!
