The National Centre for Creative Health will advance good practice and research, inform policy and promote collaboration, helping foster the conditions for creative health to be integral to health and social care and wider systems.
Research shows that active engagement with the arts, culture and creativity is beneficial for the health and wellbeing of us all. The National Centre for Creative Health will play a pivotal role in promoting collaboration to enable creative health to become integral to health and social care and wider systems.
We will 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.
NCCH and the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and Wellbeing (APPG AHW) Creative Health Review highlights the potential for creative health to help tackle pressing issues in health and social care and more widely, including health inequalities and the additional challenges we face as we recover from Covid-19.
