who we are

The National Network for the Arts in Health as an organisation has ceased to exist. However, the National Network for the Arts in Health as a network carries on. This website is open to all who are interested in this field of practice.

This includes:

• Government Departments and Government Agencies, as well as funding bodies and policy makers working in both the Arts and Health sectors

• NHS Trusts including hospitals, primary care units, mental healthcare facilities, doctors, nurses, General Practitioners, researchers, Hospital Chairs and Chief Executives

• Local Authorities - from Borough to Metropolitan Councils

• Universities, Arts Colleges, and Medical Schools

• Artists spanning the full spectrum of the arts and creative industries - over 30 different art forms are registered on the NNAH database

• Arts and medical students

• Community arts organisations

• Charities with a special interest in health, women, children, the elderly and other specialised areas where Arts in Health activities form part of the services they deliver.
