Honoured to represent the #CorinneBurtonMemorialTrust and #arttherapy in #cancercare at Buckingham Palace last night. Small charities and compassionate care transform lives.

Conducted a meaningful workshop with nurses & HCA’s at Whipps Cross Hospital yesterday. Creative trauma - informed approaches like #arttherapy shouldn’t be β€œextra”. They are necessary for emotional health in the NHS. @bartscharity.bsky.social @qmulpsychiatry.bsky.social β€οΈβ€πŸ©ΉπŸ₯🎨

I have run gallery CPD sessions for NHS clinical health psychologists for years. Recent London exhibitions Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize NPG & Donald Rodney: Visceral Canker Whitechapel Gallery stimulated rich visual/verbal reflection on identity & difference, health systems & human connection

Getting out of the clinical / hospital (head) space at the international forum Art of Observation: Art & Medicine conference was freeing. The role of art to provide positive disruption, necessary for med student learning was a key take-away. Abstracts: lnkd.in/e-K8RnPz
