The HAS Conference, in Edinburgh on 19th & 20th August and Glasgow on 21st August will feature leading international arts health figures, including four specially curated panels as part of the Festival of Politics at Scottish Parliament. Sessions will focus on Healing Arts Scotland's key themes of loneliness and isolation, dementia, young peoples' mental health, social prescribing and arts in confined spaces. Each programme will bring together senior policymakers, health practitioners and researchers to discuss the wide-ranging health benefits of the arts on society and its implementation in formal spheres (hospitals) and within communities. By fostering a positive dialogue around the role of the arts in wellbeing, the outcomes of the conference hope to lead to the inclusion and the championing of the arts in NHS Scotland, and other community driven initiatives. Please note that this event will include BSL interpretation and captioning
