Guidelines for Good Practice for Participatory Arts in Healthcare Contexts

Date: 14 Jun 2010
Last year, WHAT and the Health Service Executive South (Cork) Arts + Health programme, with financial support from the Arts Council of Ireland published Guidelines for Good Practice for Participatory Arts in Healthcare Contexts. These were written by the Centre for Medical Humanities at Durham University.
The Guidelines are designed to present clear, concise and user-friendly guidance to those working in the area of participatory arts in healthcare contexts. They were developed through consultation with artists and healthcare professionals working in the field of arts and health.
They would appreciate if artists and healthcare professionals working in the field of arts and health would take the time to consider and interpret the Guidelines in the context of their own practice, possibly in consultation with peers, partners and clients, and send us feedback by the 31 October 2010. They will review the Guidelines in the light of feedback received.
