Breathe Arts Health Research

Breathe Arts Health Research design and deliver creative programmes, underpinned by scientific research, to improve health and wellbeing. Our work is co-designed with artists, scientists, healthcare staff and patients, to meet specific clinical needs. We deliver a diverse range of participatory programmes and live performance events. Breathe’s innovative and artistic approach to transforming healthcare experiences, offer those we work with a sense of empowerment, hope and creative fulfilment when they need it most.  We currently work across over 80 healthcare locations in the UK, and have delivered work as far afield as Australia.

This Creativity & Wellbeing Week, we're running a programme of online and in-person creative workshops for NHS staff at Guy's and St Thomas' Trust, designed to support health and wellbeing, ease stress and anxiety and to connect staff with colleagues they may not ordinarily meet.
