Arts in Healthcare and Beyond

We speak with Victoria Hume, Director of the Culture, Health and Wellbeing Alliance to find out how the Alliance is helping broker arts into healthcare and beyond through a network of regional “champions”, building on grassroots arts programmes and building bridges to network positive creative solutions to those who need it. Her own background as a musician and arts worker is fascinating in itself, as is her work on delirium which includes composing music that address delirium.
