What does a successful collaboration between the arts and clinical practice look like? What makes it meaningful? And how could it be measured?
To conclude the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience’s Arts in Mind festival, we drew together a diverse crowd of clinicians, arts practitioners and people with lived experience to explore the successes and challenges of arts-medical collaborations and envision new ways of working.
