More and more councils are promoting social prescribing, or what is commonly called ‘arts on prescription’, but surely the arts can’t replace medicine?! Isn’t this just a way to save money? What can the arts and community activity do for us anyway? Take part in a ground-breaking live experiment made especially for the festival by Coney, and hear from advocates of social prescribing across Kent, including: Professor Paul Camic, Research Director, Salmons Centre; Susan Potter, co-author of Non-Clinical Community Interventions; Nick Ewbank, Research Evaluator for arts on prescription; Madlin Bee, Take Off; Dr Robert Stewart; and Emma Hanson, commissioner of Live Well Kent.
