<i>‘</i>Monday’s feel calmer when creative practitioners are here’: a quality improvement project exploring whether creative-practitioner sessions on adult inpatient mental-health wards reduce levels of violence and aggression

Recommendations for the project's next steps are to secure sustained funding for creative practitioners to further enhance patients/staff well-being, as well as the coproduction of a creative-practitioner implementation guide to be tested in other mental-health inpatient settings as a part of a research study to better understand the impact of the type/timing of activities (ie, day/evening/weekends) on important patient outcomes and staff well-being.
