Art: Fuel for the Body, Mind and Soul

Arts are everywhere in our lives, whether we choose it or not: arts engagement is viewing and listening casually or deliberately, but also making, dancing, acting. Creative Health is a fairly recent concept, but already embedded in UK parliament and the World Health Organisation policy documents. Creative health is about researching and implementing arts engagement for its benefits on health and wellbeing. Come and learn about the principles of Creative Health, its benefits, its challenges, and experience some of it too!

Art moves us—it can be heart-warming or heart-wrenching. But what about the art inside our actual hearts?

Join cardiac researcher Dr. Aishwarya Prakash for a closer look at the beautiful science of heart energy—and how unlocking it could help improve the lives of heart failure patients.
