The Creative Health Hub is a pioneering research and creative co-production hub with a vision of advancing and embedding creative health provision across our region in collaboration with communities across West Yorkshire. This includes local authority, voluntary, community and enterprise sectors, the creative and cultural industries, the NHS, health and social care services and universities to mobilize the Creative Health Strategy and drive positive change.  

The latest publication from University of Huddersfield Press, Cultures of Creative Health, includes a range of case studies, interviews, position pieces and exhibitions from across the region of West Yorkshire. These contributions serve as evidence of Creative Health approaches and their potential impacts. The range of perspectives presented are place-based and place-specific. They point to what works, but also what the Creative Health sector in West Yorkshire needs to become in order to provide condition of opportunity for communities and practitioners to thrive. The publication has been co-produced in partnership and collaboration with the Creative Health Hub; a consortium network aligned to the West Yorkshire Creative Health System.
