Summer School: Arts in Health

Healthcare systems are increasingly unable to keep up with the rising costs and complexity of treatment and care. Their traditional reliances upon technological innovation, high efficiency, and treatment-at-any-cost are driving health systems to the point of collapse. The very definitions of health, prevention, and well-being are being reconsidered by healthcare systems, and new approaches must be found to humanise healthcare for patients and staff, and to support disease prevention in our communities. The field of arts in health provides an innovative approach to supporting care, well-being, and to encourage healthy living.
