  4. Arts & Health in the NHS ‘In improving patient health, it is clear that we need to look at prescribing more than just medicine in order to increase an individual’s sense of wellbeing.Taking part in arts activities has been shown to build self esteem, promoting both community engagement and positive mental health. The Artshine project in Bristol is a good example of how the arts can contribute to innovative patient care within General Practice.’ Dr. Jon Rogers, BCC cabinet member Care & Health, GP Avonmouth Medical Centre

  5.

  11. Referral Charts

  12. Referrals • 30% BME groups • 89% ‘improve overall wellbeing’ • 60% GP referrals - (60 – 80%) • Even spread across age groups • 70+% female

  13. Beyond the basic model • Linked Health Trainers for each group • Advice & 1:1 support for healthy life choices & social issues • Reinforces a whole health focus & effective signposting ...I’ve had people interested in diet and exercise She helps break the ice for everybody and has a lot of knowledge about other groups

  14. ‘Move On’ • Artshine referral time limited • Expectation to move on – ‘meaningful’ • Support to identify other opportunities: education, employment, volunteering….. • ‘Move On’ groups offer stepped approach - ‘hand held’ • Engage with other groups towards end of referral • 1st yr: ArThur & Light Box • Shine On – set up by participants • The Mshed Sessions

  15. Move On: Quotes …people don't want to go [leave] but the move on groups should help We could make our own group, even if it's just to meet up for coffee, or to do something creative We get on well and would like to continue meeting up …the group has discussed positive elements of Artshine to incorporate in their own group

  16. Developing Best Practice:training & supervision for artists • Ensuring quality service & care for patients • Effective treatment & value for money • Consistency in guidelines for good practice • Arts & Health practitioners – some are unregulated / lack of definite training paths?

  17. Best Practice cont. • Supporting & valuing staff • Recognise & acknowledge the artists’ skill set • Validating the work within a health & social care context • Boundaries, policies & safe practice • Historically, adequate support has been hit & miss

  18. Artist experience: • Working in isolation • Overlooked – value of work • Concerns about participants – who to speak to? • Assumptions made about support – difficulties with emotion & appropriate debrief • Expected to work for free!

  19. I love the groups, it’s very diverse and vibrant Lots of positives too! I absolutely love it! It’s therapeutic for me too! …they often tell me how relaxed they feel

  20. Supervision: safe & accountable practice a term to describe a formal process of professional support and learning which enables practitioners to develop knowledge and competence, assume responsibility for their own practice and enhance consumer protection and safety of care in complex situations(DOH 1993) regular, protected time for facilitated, in-depth reflection on clinical practice aimed to enable the supervisee to achieve, sustain and creatively develop a high quality of practice through the means of focused support and development. (Bond and Holland 1998)

  33. Case Study • Participant 1 has attended 16 Artshine sessions and is coming to the end of term 1. • This participant has a history of chaotic lifestyles with mental health and substance misuse issues. The participant was previously involved in an abusive relationship with a problematic drinker and currently has children in care outside of Bristol, including a teenager with Aspergers syndrome. The participant is now feels they are in a supportive relationship but finds having children away from home a challenge. This participant is currently on anti-depressants, has been receiving support from MIND and is waiting for a support worker to be assigned to her. They have found mental health services in Bristol to have long waiting lists but “Artshine was easy to get into”. • Participant 1 finds Artshine “…a complete escape” from some of the chaotic aspects of their life “it’s sociable and relaxing”. This individual was not practicing creative activities before coming to Artshine “it wasn’t something I was into before, I didn’t know what art was all about” but, after trying a number of activities, has found an interest in painting and is currently experimenting with water colours. Outside of the group the participant takes photos on days out for inspiration and commented “I often paint while my partner’s watching TV”. They have also been able to borrow books and resources from the art room at the practice.

  34. The participant commented on the positive impact of Artshine; • “I used to think drugs were the only way to get a buzz • but now I get a buzz from doing art!” • This participant has received diet and exercise advice from the Health Trainer and commented; • “I have trust issues but I feel I can trust her”. • The participant felt attending Artshine had been a positive experience. • “Artshine has definitely made a difference to my mental health, I feel more motivated to get out the door. It’s been a chance to meet nice people. I’ve come to realise we’ve all got our own problems and need to be ready to move on to the next step of friendship outside of the group but I think it will come….we’ve all linked up on Facebook”. • A number of members of this Artshine group have discussed forming their own art group; • “we all get on well and would like to continue meeting up….I’m trying to get a Wii Fit group going too!”

  35. Areas for improvement & actions taken • Increasing referrals & uptake – GP awareness…new system • Displaying more artwork at practices…H&S toolkit • More GP feedback…d/charge & completion • Improved referral system…contacts & emails • Patient information…leaflets – website….. • Father / men’s group…specific project • Uptake of referrals from BME communities…outreach project
