Biography
I work at the University of Essex, researching community connections at a hyperlocal level, enabling people to feel safe and belong.
My Fellowship contributed tremendously to my knowledge about social prescribing, health, social care and the arts. It enabled me to influence the delivery of social care services whilst working with local authorities and to contribute to the research and evaluation of social prescribing projects.
The purpose of my Fellowship was to understand how health and social care included and realised the concept and benefits of 'creative ageing' in the commissioning and delivery of health and social care services in the USA and Sweden, and to bring this back to the UK.
My interest stems from a human rights approach to the delivery of health and social care.
