Arts in Health

Providing creative activities and enhancing environments
for the benefit of our patients and staff.

A varied programme of patient and staff-focused creative activities and performance as well as artistic enhancements across our five sites.

At Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, we understand the powerful health and wellbeing benefits of using the arts within a healthcare setting. Whether it be displaying inspirational paintings and artwork on the walls, leading fun and creative workshops on our wards, or inviting musicians in to play everyone’s favourite songs, we strive to provide our patients, staff and visitors with the opportunity to experience and engage with the uplifting and transformative nature of the Arts in its many forms.

Arts in Health benefits

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and Wellbeing spent two years investigating the effects of the arts on health and wellbeing and concluded that, ‘The time has come to recognise the powerful contribution the arts can make to our health and wellbeing.’

They published their report in July 2017 entitled Creative Health: The Arts for Health and Wellbeing in which they present evidence which, ‘shows how arts-based approaches can help people to stay well, recover faster, manage long-term conditions and experience a better quality of life.’
