“Impressive, joyful, person-centred, evidence based and fabulous!”
This is how the judges at Community Hospitals Association’s national awards described Creating with Care, the innovative arts programme run in Oxford Health’s community hospitals. It has just been awarded the top prize in innovation and best practice in patient care.
Join us on Tuesday, December 15 at 12:30 pm for the virtual Health Matters: Four years of Creating with Care. The event link is bit.ly/HealthMatters-CwC. See below for more guidance under How to take part.
The event will be chaired by service director Emma Leaver and you will hear from the programme founders:
- Angela Conlan, arts co-ordinator and trust governor
- Paula Har, dementia nurse.
Angela and Paula will tell you how the programme has been implemented across our community hospitals with involvement from professional artists and local communities; how arts can support health and wellbeing and how the team has come up with ingenious ways of creating with care during the pandemic. And we are promised some taster activities, too!
You’ll be able to ask questions by the online Q&A function, but if you already have a question in mind, please email FT.MembershipCommunity@oxfordhealth.nhs.uk.
