Where do the arts fit within the Health and Social Care System?
This training presents an overview of how the NHS operates. Demystifying some of the terminology and language around the NHS, it explores key policies and priorities for the NHS currently. It is located in arts, health, and well-being practice in relation to these policies, exploring how the arts are currently meeting these priorities and highlighting opportunities for the arts to develop and expand their remit in response to post-Covid 19 health and well-being needs.
