From singing for lung health, to doing arts in the park for community well-being. It can include artistic approaches to health research, or even the way we conceptualise the relationship between health providers and their patients/participants.At this event, we will hear from LGBTQIA+ researcher, Yasmin Jiang, alongside Frances Williams, Health &amp; Research Lead at <a href="https://queercircle.org/about/" title="https://queercircle.org/about/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Queer Circle</a>.
