| Annotation | The author, novelist and co-founder of John's Campaign, describes the transformative role of the creative arts in dementia care. She describes how, when the power to communicate verbally is lost, the creative arts such as music, dance, poetry and painting can connect people with dementia to the outside world. She gives examples of music projects and research. Evidence such as that in the report from the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and Wellbeing (2017) points to how the arts can help us to keep well, and also help save money in the health service and social care.
