National Centre for Creative Health

Creative health is increasingly recognised as a driver of better care and better value in health and care systems. Integrating creative health into prevention, public and population health strategies, management of long-term conditions, treatment and recovery pathways contributes to:

• Reduced incidence of preventable illness
• Improved wellbeing of patients and service users
• Reduced demand on services

Many Integrated Care Systems and providers already incorporate creative health in physical and mental healthcare, social care, and public health, delivering measurable social and economic value.

NCCH has worked in partnership with NHS England to develop a Creative Health Toolkit. The Toolkit support systems to work with the assets in their communities and to develop their own approach.

NCCH publishes a monthly creative health newsletter created for professionals working across health and care.
