Creative Health Stories | 20 episodes

This series conveys what ‘creative health’ means to different people and in different contexts; how creativity helps to keep us well at a general, preventative level and how it supports chromic and long term health conditions. It highlights creative practices – professional, amateur and those we can do at home – which are helping to keep us well, and what needs to happen so that access to creativity, the arts and culture are more widely accessible.

In this podcast series consists of interviews with professionals and scholars about their arts in health projects, findings, and experiences. The series also takes on the larger policy and ethical issues of arts in health, for example the July 2024 episode in which Sir Michael Marmot was interviewed. Sir Michael discussed his work on the social determinants of health, and explains his argument that health equality requires that creativity be available to everyone.
