Hello! We are the CUH Arts staff team, responsible for the delivery of CUH’s arts-in-health programme. With professional expertise across art forms and specialist skills in programming, curation, commissioning, creative engagement and facilitation, we work collaboratively with artists and cultural partners to devise creative opportunities with and for our hospital community.

We are active members of the NHS’ Arts, Heritage and Design in Healthcare Network (opens in a new tab) and the Culture Health and Wellbeing Alliance (opens in a new tab), supporting the development and advocacy of arts-in-health on a national level. Our programme is evidence-based, and draws upon a rich body of research and evaluation (opens in a new tab) that underpins the sector.
