The Good Health Wales 2017 Arts for Health and Wellbeing Symposium provided a showcase for the positive developments in wellbeing / healthcare practice resulting from arts and design.
The symposium facilitated the exchange of experiences and discussion to promote further collaboration in good practice development.
The relationship between the arts, health and wellbeing are well established. Early references to the visual and performing arts testify to the power of the arts to effect positive outcomes to health and wellbeing.
The Good Health Wales 2017 Symposium was partly a celebration of the excellent practice already evident in Wales and also a forum for the exchange of ideas and good practice across the many arts disciplines represented.
Swansea College of Art at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David worked in collaboration with colleagues from Hywel Dda to plan and organise the event. This partnership is representative of the close relationship between UWTSD and Hywel Dda University Health Board.
