    Museums on prescription with Professor Helen Chatterjee

    I talk to Professor Helen Chatterjee, Biologist and former curator of the UCL Grant Museum. We talk about the role of museums in the community and her pioneering role in the rise of museums' involvement around mental health and health interventions, including her well-known Museums on Prescription projects. We also discuss the often very different forms of evidence in the world of the medical establishment compared with that of the community sector. We talk about the mechanisms behind which museum and arts interventions improve mental health; including discussing one of her studies on the use of arts by forcibly displaced migrants.

    Involving the community in General Practice, with Alyson McGregor of Altogether Better

    I talk to Alyson McGregor, National Director of Altogether Better.  We talk about their model of Collaborative pratice, where they work alongside General Practices, and help them invite their local community in to lead exciting citizen-led groups, based on the assets they have. This might include peer-support groups, dance classes, walking groups, etc. It‘s a fundamental shift from the standard service-driven, often deficit-focused General Practice - towards a more asset-based, social model!  We also talk about the importance of relationship building in this area, and of cake!  Do give a subscribe/rate/review on Apple podcasts or Google podcasts if you enjoyed! https://www.altogetherbetter.org.uk @AlysonMcGregor3 @henryaughterson @networkMARCH  @al2getherbetter
