A lovely BBC piece about a study we funded! @megantj.bsky.social from @qmul-wiph.bsky.social at @qmul.bsky.social found that art therapy could reduce burnout risk for @england.nhs.uk staff. Read all about it here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Results of our @qmul-wiph.bsky.social / Barts NHS Trust trial are published in BMJ Public Health. The first full RCT testing group art therapy to reduce clinician burnout in acute hospital settings @bartscharity.bsky.social 🔗 bmjpublichealth.bmj.com/content/3/2/... #Healthcare #Burnout #ArtTherapy

Two interesting and inspiring inaugural lectures @qmul-wiph.bsky.social yesterday and an absolute tonic to catch up with research colleagues @qmulresilience.bsky.social

Honoured to represent the #CorinneBurtonMemorialTrust and #arttherapy in #cancercare at Buckingham Palace last night. Small charities and compassionate care transform lives.

Conducted a meaningful workshop with nurses & HCA’s at Whipps Cross Hospital yesterday. Creative trauma - informed approaches like #arttherapy shouldn’t be “extra”. They are necessary for emotional health in the NHS. @bartscharity.bsky.social @qmulpsychiatry.bsky.social ❤️‍🩹🏥🎨

I have run gallery CPD sessions for NHS clinical health psychologists for years. Recent London exhibitions Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize NPG & Donald Rodney: Visceral Canker Whitechapel Gallery stimulated rich visual/verbal reflection on identity & difference, health systems & human connection

In the latest episode of #TheDoctorPod we hear from Dr Sabina Dosani and @megantj.bsky.social about art therapy and how the creative process can help healthcare professionals with burnout. The podcast brings you the voices of doctors, for doctors. Listen now 👉 thedoctor.bma.org.uk/podcast

Getting out of the clinical / hospital (head) space at the international forum Art of Observation: Art & Medicine conference was freeing. The role of art to provide positive disruption, necessary for med student learning was a key take-away. Abstracts: lnkd.in/e-K8RnPz

Looking forward to presenting with @louiseyounie.bsky.social GP & professor of medical education and @elletallgren.bsky.social med student. @qmulpsychiatry.bsky.social
