In June 2019 VHS was delighted to partner with Arts + Health Scotland and Art in Hospital for a Keeping the Conversation Going  networking event about the arts and health. The event brought together over 60 people working in the NHS, arts, third sector, academia and Scottish Government. There was a strong focus on building connections with colleagues and on recent developments in England, Northern Ireland and  Wales, foregrounding discussions about shaping a way forward for Scotland.

The video includes VHS’s Chief Executive Claire Stevens talking about the role of arts in preventing ill-health and addressing health inequalities, and Art in Hospital’s Associate Director Robbie McGhee highlighting the opportunity the event represented in terms of driving forward further developments in Scotland.
