The Creative Doctor - Dr. Clive Holmwood

I'm relaunching on Twitter today with a Tweet from University of Derby about myself ...

I had the great pleasure in taking part in a recent pod cast with Dr Andy Hickson and Dr Sue Jennings, talking about all things NDP and dementia as part of the series of Play Absolutely podcasts, wonderful series and worth a watch ... lnkd.in/eZH5cRn5

After alnost 12 years I am stepping down from my role as Associate Professor @DerbyUni to work in private practice and as an independent researcher. Heres to the next chapter!

derbybookfestival.co.uk/events/univers… By popular demand, I will be back at Derby Book Festival this coming Thursday. I won't be the only Clive at the festival @CliveMyrieBBC will also be appearing later in the week and might sell a few more books than me!

Watch out for this book being published next month. #DrMikeBender has written an absolute corker! I had the privilege to peer review the transcripts! I'll keep you posted #Dementia

The chapters are now starting to roll in for the Routledge Handbook of Arts and Health- very exciting!! Can't wait to start reading them. Very grateful to everyone's hard work writing these contributions!

Delighted to have delivered this two day on line training on NDP and Dementia with people from as far away as India and Mexico! facebook.com/share/p/T8AJF7…
