Leadership and Strategy: Embedding Creative Health in Integrated Care Systems Roundtable

This online roundtable was hosted on Tuesday 16 May 2023.
Work is already underway to integrate creative health into health systems and across local authorities. Building on this, we identified best practice for embedding creative health and considered how this can be further supported by national policy. We will also thought about the role that creative health can play in strengthening healthcare systems in the face of current and future challenges.
We heard from a range of speakers covering research, practice, policy and lived experience and there was an opportunity for audience Q&A.
In celebration of Creativity and Wellbeing Week, we also invited our panellists to address this year’s provocation, ‘What is the role of creativity in a health crisis?’. The provocation was introduced with a performance by Surfing Sofas (artist and poet).
The session was chaired by: David Clayton-Smith, NCCH Trustee, and Chair of Kent Surrey & Sussex AHSN, and Joint Chair of Dorset County Hospital NHS FT and Dorset HealthCare NHS FT
Speakers include: Tracey Bleakley, Chief Executive of NHS Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board; Dr Jane Povey, Clinical Lead for Personalised Care, Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin ICB; Deborah Munt and Carol Massey, Ministry of Others - Integrating Creative Health into
West Yorkshire ICS; Nesta Lloyd-Jones, Assistant Director, Welsh NHS Confederation; Sheinaz Stansfield, Managing Partner, Oxford Terrace and Rawling Road Medical Group; Mah Rana, Co-Director, Lived Experience Network; Matthew Couper, Co-Director, London Arts and Health

The Creative Health Review
This roundtable is the seventh and final in a series running throughout the year as part of the National Centre for Creative Health (NCCH) and All-Party Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and Wellbeing (APPG) Creative Health Review. The review will highlight the potential for creative health to help tackle pressing issues in health and social care and more widely, including health inequalities and the additional challenges we face as we recover from Covid-19.
A panel of commissioners, with a wide breadth of expertise, will translate the findings from roundtables and a public call for contributions into recommendations for policymakers to encourage and inform the development of a cross-governmental creative health strategy.
We welcome your participation in the review. Find out how you can contribute ncch.org.uk/cr...

Great to see this discussion happening. Lots of pointers to systemic change. Will that fundamental change be realised by senior decision-makers?
