The Scottish government’s chief medical officer Sir Gregor Smith celebrates the “transformational potential” of Healing Arts Scotland, a week-long celebration of the role of the arts for improving physical, mental and social health, produced by Scottish Ballet and the Jameel Arts & Health Lab in collaboration with the World Health Organisation in August 2024.
Sir Gregor told The Art Newspaper that the festival has shown how the arts can help to “reimagine our national model of health and social care.”
