Our vision
Our interdisciplinary research, interventions and public engagement events bring together international researchers from the fields of arts & humanities and science with experts by experience, carers, current and future healthcare professionals, practitioners, artists, creative industries, schools, charities, the general public and many more.
Our vision
Our vision is to use arts and humanities to:
- Facilitate exchange between arts & humanities, science and medicine for better health and healthcare
- Address the need for more research into healthcare for underrepresented groups and for greater health equality
- Enable collaborations and knowledge exchange across the disciplines and with practitioners, third sector organisations and the arts
- Further healthcare research and interventions that are co-designed and co-produced with people who are directly affected, e.g., people with lived experience, patients, carers
- Collaborate with policy makers and influence policies and policy changes
- Raise awareness and support education amongst the wider public regarding underrepresented health matters and health inequalities, e.g. eating disorders in men and boys, gender based violence
- Instigate creative collaborations for better physical and mental health and wellbeing
