Creative Health

Date: Wednesday 22 April 2026

Time: 14:00-16:30

Location: Building 65, Avenue Campus, University of Southampton

We warmly invite colleagues to attend a poster session on the theme of Creative Health. The event is co-organised by Southampton Institute for Arts and Humanities (SIAH), Institute for Life Sciences (IfLS), NIHR ARC Wessex, Hampshire County Council and Southampton HDRC.

Creative health approaches may involve innovative ways to approach health and care services, co-production, education and workforce development which can contribute to the prevention of ill-health, promotion of healthy behaviours, management of long-term conditions, and treatment and recovery across the life course.

If Creative Health aligns with your current research interests or future plans, or you would just like to know more, we invite you to join the poster session. We welcome practitioners and researchers from all disciplines for informal discussions and networking. Posters are intended to showcase current work, act as icebreakers and spark new collaborations. You are welcome to bring a poster - including reusing one from a previous conference. We encourage PhD students and postdocs to attend.
