In September 2020, UCL Health of the Public launched an academic communities scheme to encourage dynamic and innovative leaders to proactively develop themes that bring together new research communities. These academic communities will act as a catalyst to increase UCL’s cross-disciplinary public health research capacity.
This event is a chance to learn about our newest community - ‘Creative Health’, led by Prof Helen Chatterjee and Dr Lorna Collins. Join us virtually at 15:00 on Monday 22 November to hear from colleagues from across the University and to find out how you can get involved.
Please note: this event is for UCL staff only.
About us
The Creative Health Community aims to bring together researchers from across UCL whose work focuses on health creation and understanding creative approaches to reducing health disparities. The National Centre for Creative Health defines Creative Health as ‘creating the conditions and opportunities for arts, creativity and culture to be embedded in the health of the public’. Within our Community we expand this to include all asset-based approaches to health including nature and the outdoors, the built environment, design and architecture, laws and beyond. We welcome anyone from biomedicine, the sciences (life, physical, population, social, historical), engineering, education, arts and humanities to join forces to explore how asset-based approaches to health can be harnessed to improve the health of the public.
