Looking at art for health it has a science base. It’s the effect of fractals on our brain. Art also has a social impact. We need to have affirmative positive images of nurses in our minds & media if we are to transform how nurses are seen & heard. #ArtofNursing #percieconf24 @drjand.bsky.social

Today co chair Baroness Barker spoke with Lord Fowler about his contribution to the fight against HIV and AIDS. They also spoke about the next chapter and what needs to be done.

Hello 👋👋@garrybrough.bsky.social See starter pack from @positivelad.bsky.social

Elton John recently emphasized the importance of inclusion and empathy in the fight against AIDS in a powerful article for Newsweek. His message is a reminder that empathy and action go hand in hand in the fight. #HIV www.newsweek.com/2024/11/29/e...
