My stall at the British Society of Rheumatology annual conference
I was recently invited to display some of my work at the British Society of Rheumatology annual conference in Glasgow this April - Raising awareness on the role of art, its therapeutic benefits & potential use as part of non-medical approaches to self-management in people with long term conditions.
Present day represents the Digital age where Digital technology is empowering patients to better engage with self-management of their long -term conditions (LTC). Digital healthcare is continually changing the world at an ever-increasing pace. Why not put this into wider use in the context of self-management?
There's a lot of scope to further develop the positive impact creative arts has on the holistic approach to care in people with long term conditions. Medication addresses the physical dimension but addressing the spiritual and emotional dimensions is also an integral part of the healing process.
