Policy Roundtable: UK Arts & Health, The Time is Now

Bringing together leaders from government, public health, culture, research and civil society, the UK Arts & Health Roundtable explored how arts and health can be advanced at greater scale across the UK.

The session launched UK Arts & Health: The Time is Now, a new policy brief developed following the APPG on Creative Health Parliamentary Roundtable, highlighting key recommendations and opportunities for action.

Through a series of perspectives from national and international leaders, participants reflected on the current state of the arts and health movement, shared examples of impact in practice, and considered the partnerships, policies and infrastructure needed to drive long-term change.

The roundtable concluded with an open discussion focused on collective action, future priorities, and the next steps required to embed arts and health within policy, practice and communities across the UK.
