Practical Guidance on Implementing Creative Health

The National Centre for Creative Health (NCCH) has launched a new How webpage, offering clear, practical guidance on implementing creative health initiatives across health and care services, organisations, and systems. With creative health gaining recognition as a driver of better outcomes and value, this page offers practical insights and real-world examples to help you put it into practice.

What Is Creative Health and Why It Matters

Creative health refers to creative approaches and activities that benefit our health and wellbeing. These can include visual and performing arts, crafts, film, literature, cooking, and engagement with nature, such as gardening. Creative health can contribute to the prevention of ill-health, promotion of healthy behaviours, management of long-term conditions, and treatment and recovery.
