Flourishing for ourselves and across generations of GPs
Our aim
- Flourishing: promote wellbeing through the arts for patients and clinicians
- Transformation and culture change: encourage holistic care and practices with reflection through the arts
- Scholarship and practice: build creative health evidence and strategy addressing all levels of primary care (education, patient care, ICBs, social prescribing etc)
