Arts, Health & Well-being
2nd Year BA (Hons) Embroidery Students at MMU have been involved in an enterprising project as part of a collaborative venture with Arts for Health and Derbyshire Community Health Services.
North West Arts & Health Network
As part of our regional development work and supporting the London Arts and Health Forum in its drive to generate a national forum for arts and health, we are developing our database and mailing list.
North West Arts & Health Partnership
Between 2007-2010, Arts Council England, North West and the Department of Health, Public Health, North West are working in partnership with Arts for Health to develop the regional arts and health infrastructure.
Derbyshire County Primary Care Trust
We are currently supporting Derbyshire County Primary Care Trust in its aspirations to embed creativity, culture and the arts in its service delivery. This work is focused on culture change and has an emphasis on:
- How the arts might impact on public health
- How we can improve health environments
- How we can engage more with our communities
For example, participating in the Wellcome Image Awards 2008.

St Helens Hospital
Arts for Health at MMU have been working with St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and Taylor Woodrow Construction since March 2007. Initially the work involved designing an arts strategy and vision for the Trust with the aim of embedding creativity, culture and the arts within the hospital. Following the development of the strategy, Arts for Health continued to work within St Helens Hospital commissioning artists to produce works for the new St Helens Hospital, which opened in October 2008.
Whiston Hospital
Arts for Health have secured a contract to work for the next two years with the new Whiston Hospital. This hospital is due to be completed in Spring 2010. Details of artist briefs will be available to download from this website in Spring 2009.
