Myself and Culture, Health & Wellbeing Alliance hope that The Creative Health Quality Framework will inspire the best possible experiences and outcomes for everyone involved in Creative Health work, meaning the power and potential of creativity to transform our health can be realised.

“I wasn’t sure that we, as a sector, had ever clearly articulated what “good” actually looked like.”
