Utility of Arts Based Methodologies in Palliative Care
Summary:
The arts hold immense value in opening up conversations about dying, death, grief, and loss, both with patients and within clinical teams. They also offer powerful ways to represent these experiences to wider society.
This webinar brings together four international experts who have used diverse arts-based methods to explore the experiences of people with life-threatening illnesses and their families, across clinical and community settings. They will share examples of their projects, highlighting the unique insights the arts can bring, as well as the ethical and practical challenges involved in working with people nearing the end of life.
Attendees will gain an introduction to a range of arts-based methodologies in palliative care and learn how these approaches can be applied in both research and practice.
The speakers will also introduce key theoretical frameworks that underpin arts-based research, offering the audience a deeper understanding of its purpose, scope, and potential impact, and the inspiration and confidence to integrate creative methods into their own work.
