Dominik Havsteen-Franklin and Jenni de Knoop, who run CNWL’s CaRE Project, have had a research paper published evaluating the efficacy and impact of a systemic arts-based team development intervention.

The paper comes after two years of work with CNWL teams and shows that:

  • Arts Therapies may offer viable methods for team development in non-acute care contextsJenni and Dominik 1 2.jpg
  • Post intervention survey responses indicate improvements to team bonding and safety
  • Quantitative data also indicates improvements to team cohesion and effective communication

Following its success, the CaRE Project has received additional funding and now has the capacity to offer around 15 teams the opportunity to take part in a free CaRE Away Day. These will be offered on a first come: first served basis.
