Gloucestershire Creative Health Consortium

Vision

Anyone in Gloucestershire, whoever they are and whatever age they are, will be able to manage their own health and wellbeing in new ways, through access to ongoing creative health options.

 

History

Gloucestershire Creative Health Consortium members started working together in 2014, each having specialisms and areas of focus around social prescribing. It was clear that establishing a Creative Health Consortium concentrating on Arts on Prescription would offer a best practice, strategically joined up approach. The focus being on those requiring, and those referring into these services, along with strengthening relationships between providers, sector support, and funders.

We work in close partnership with NHS Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group who commission a diverse and rich portfolio of creative health programmes to meet population need and increase the likelihood of high quality outcomes for individuals and communities.

 

Mission

The consortium exists to inspire, nourish and surprise you/people with creative ways to manage your/their health.
