Creative Health Boards: A guide to getting started 

Chris Dayson and Ellie Lockley | December 2025

Creative Health Boards: A Guide to Getting Started offers a practical framework to support creative health partners to develop collaborative approaches to embedding creative health in health systems. Grounded in research from numerous established and emerging creative health systems across the UK, it builds on our eight initial programme theories that describe how collaborative approaches can enable better outcomes for people, places, and systems. We hope to publish more details about these programme theories in the next few months. 

You can explore the framework through our interactive guide or download it for use in your own planning and partnership work.
