Delighted to see this in print! We scoped out the academic literature to see what #health #professionals are being taught about #arts and #health, and he #visual and #performing arts are being used in medical and health care training. We identified far more papers than we expected, outlining how everything from dance to sculpture is currently being used in medical training, although it’s not always clear why, or if it is effective. We also identified that artists are often left out from creative health education, which seems like a missed opportunity. But the biggest surprise was that only 10% of the papers we found aimed to teach health professionals about arts or music therapies. Most of the papers used creative activities to teach trainees specialist knowledge, or professional development. Thanks to Arts Council England who funded the project, with support from National Centre for Creative Health (NCCH) and the Royal Society Public Health Special Interest Group in Arts and Health, and thanks to the many stakeholders who shaped the protocol.
