As part of the Mobilising Community Assets to Tackle Health Inequalities programme, NCCH has partnered with University College London (UCL) to conduct ‘deep dives’ into health systems across England.
The deep dives entail qualitative investigation, in collaboration with systems leaders, to better understand the enablers and barriers of integrating creative health into workstreams. Information is then triangulated with systems reports and data infographics to form a comprehensive understanding of what works and why. We are particularly interested in how data is prioritised and presented internally to make the case for creative health, as well as what systems infrastructure has been created, to understand how advocacy is translated into workable and sustainable creative health solutions.
