The National Centre for Creative Health plays a pivotal role in promoting collaboration to enable creative health to become integral to health and social care and wider systems.

Why

The National Centre for Creative Health was formed in response to the Creative Health report, the result of a two-year inquiry led by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and Wellbeing.

We support the development of research via our partnerships with University College London, the Royal Society for Public Health Special Interest Group in Arts, Health and Wellbeing and a number of research centres working in relevant fields.
