SUMMARY:Arts in Hospitals: Why Creative Health Matters for Patients\, Staff and the NHS
DESCRIPTION:Image courtesy of Corbin O’Grady Studio & Art for Life \nOur theme for this newsletter is arts in hospitals\, and you will find a series of resources below highlighting the positive impact of the arts in hospital environments. We invited the National Arts in Hospitals Network (NAHN) to write a guest blog sharing their work and the evidence behind hospital arts programmes. \nArts programmes have a huge impact on people who visit\, work and are treated in hospitals. Over 100 hospital trusts in the country have arts programmes and arts managers. There is a wealth of evidence and long history demonstrating that the arts improve healthcare professionals’ and patients’ wellbeing (APPG on Arts\, Health and Wellbeing\, 2017; 2023).  \n“A study at Barts Health NHS Trust published in January 2026 demonstrates that group art sessions cut the risk of staff burnout by half\, and 98% of staff participants reported it helped them\, with significantly lower emotional exhaustion.”  \nRead the full blog here.
