Arts, health & wellbeing: reflections on a national seminar series and building a UK research networkFootnote

This paper is dedicated to the memory of our dear colleague Mike White, Centre for Medical Humanities, Durham University, who sadly passed away in 2015. He made a very significant contribution to the development of the field of arts, health and wellbeing in the UK over many years and will be sadly missed.
