 al.com/auxiliary/Reserve.aspx?p=179390\n\n\nOur health is influenced by 
 a range of social\, economic and environmental factors. In a pressurised
  health system\, how can the arts\, culture and sports help to support t
 he health of entire communities? Along with pills and prescriptions\, do
 ctors and nurses now have the option of prescribing a whole range of non
 -clinical community services that help improve your health – everything 
 from joining choirs\, taking art classes to playing sports or visiting m
 useums.\n\n\nThis panel discussion brings together health professionals\
 , researchers\, policy makers and creative practitioners to discuss the 
 growing field of ‘social prescription’ and consider how relationships\, 
 activities and expectations can have a radical impact on health and well
 being. Part of The Power of Placebo – a national programme of events to 
 accompany our new performance\, Placebo.\n\n\nSpeakers\nWendy Gallagher 
 is Head of Learning and Engagement at Manchester Museum\, working to sup
 port and drive forward the major £13 million capital development project
 \, Hello Future. This transformation\, driven by social purpose aims to 
 become the UK’s most imaginative\, inclusive and caring museum. She cont
 inues to lead the growth of health and culture partnerships at the Whitw
 orth and Manchester Museum and was recognised for outstanding and innova
 tive contributions to arts and health research and practice by Royal Soc
 iety of Public health in 2012.\n\n\nJo Ward describes herself as a Chang
 e Maker\, committed to reducing health inequalities and promoting social
  justice. As an energetic arts and culture advocate she likes to squeeze
  between the gaps in organisational infrastructure and cut across sector
 al divides to join stuff up\; make things happen. She does this by manag
 ing a portfolio which defies any of the usual organisational and profess
 ional boundaries with a regional and national social prescribing remit\,
  commitments with both STPs\, CCGs and NHS England\, alongside a portfol
 io of museum and arts clients who want to make a difference and transfor
 m people’s lives.\n\n\nMichelle Howarth is Senior Lecturer at the School
  of Health and Society\, University of Salford. Michelle’s PhD explored 
 the meaning and experience of person-centred care for people who have ch
 ronic back pain. The theme of person-centred care has been developed thr
 ough Michelle’s current research which focusses on how social prescribin
 g can be used to support person centred approaches to recovery. Michelle
  co-leads the Creative Wellbeing group at the University. The group brin
 gs together a collection of academics from a variety of disciplinary bac
 kgrounds ranging from nurses and public health researchers to geographer
 s\, environmental scientists\, psychologists\, built environment special
 ists and many more and are currently working to evaluate the impact of g
 reen space on health and wellbeing.\n\n\nPresented by Clod Ensemble in a
 ssociation with Manchester Science Festival 2018. \n
