And our @nucleusarts.bsky.social poster is up at Day 4 if the econgress.wco-iof-esceo.org showing off some of the #CreativeHealth project work we are doing with Canterbury Christchurch Uni and the Egyptian Academy of Bone and Muscle Health #Medway
Presentation done! What an honour to be able to talk about #CreativeHealth in #Medway at www.wco-iof-esceo.org to the world's leading Osteoporosis experts. Huge Thank to our collaborators at the Egyptian Academy of Muscle and Bone Health and Canterbury CCU
It is the most incredible honour to win the national 3rd Sector Care Award for our work in Care homes. I am so proud of my entire team. #Medway
Great talk on the Herts Cohort Study. Shows the negative impact of osteo-related mobility issues on loneliness therefore a wide range of conditions. A great opportunity for #CreativeHealth activities to address muscle strength and tackle wellbeing (which, as it happens, I'm talking about tomorrow)
Second day of www.wco-iof-esceo.org An early start (esp given the time difference) but already learning about the importance of enjoyment and well-being in engaging patients in maintaining therapy and exercise. Of course that is where #CreativeHealth comes in!
An incredibly important point by WHO that is relevant to many aspects of health. And why evaluation, monitoring and reporting is central to our creative health work
