Art and creativity are good for the soul, both in and out of work.&nbsp;In this episode Paula is joined by clinical psychologist Dr Rachel Chater, discussing her inspiring work with the take heART Project, which aims to enhance the wellbeing of staff, patients and visitors to the Bedfordshire Hospitals through the arts.&nbsp;Rachel describes how this more unusual psychology role took shape and how it's made a difference at multiple levels within the system. She tells us about some of the lovely art projects they've worked on and how these have been informed by psychological theory and formulation.&nbsp;The pair also talk about the challenges in this work and Rachel gives lots of great pragmatic advice for anyone who might be inspired to try something similar.Links:<a href="https://www.bedfordshirehospitals.nhs.uk/charity/support-our-hospitals/take-heart/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">take heART (/</a><a href="http://www.bedfordshirehospitals.nhs.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.bedfordshirehospitals.nhs.uk</a><a href="https://www.bedfordshirehospitals.nhs.uk/charity/support-our-hospitals/take-heart/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">)</a><a href="https://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/these-are-hands/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">These are the Hands by Michael Rosen (www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk)</a><a href="https://acpuk.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ACP-UK</a>___________I’d love to connect with you so do come and find me on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/drpaularedmond/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> or at my <a href="http://drpaularedmond.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">website</a> and do check out the <a href="https://acpuk.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ACP-UK</a> and everything it has to offer.<a href="https://podfollow.com/when-work-hurts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Follow and subscribe</a> so you don’t miss an episode!
