This conference aims to examine and celebrate the effects of arts services that have developed as part of the end of life care agenda. The arts provide a range of possibilities for users to explore strange and unfamiliar emotions as well as capturing life stories, creating legacies, and gaining new experiences of themselves. The arts also bring a range of dynamics both to organisations and the disciplines that work within them, giving a forum for developing a better understanding of teamwork. Presentations from key practitioners and policy makers in the field, as well as workshops on the current challenges and changes that are being faced in the sector, aim to provide a forum for lively and dynamic interchange.
• Defining the place of the arts in End of Life Care
• Examining and relating policy, theory and practice
• Exploring potential and possibility - innovation
• Expanding the use of the arts - Care Homes and other settings
Delegates are invited to submit an "Innovation in the Arts" summary for oral presentation, poster presentation exhibition or performance. Please click on the Invitation to Present at the top of this page.
