Welcome to our Arts for Health section of the website.

We promote the role of creativity in healthcare by using the creative arts to improve health and well-being. 

This section tells you about the projects and programmes we run. 

We use the creative arts to aid our patient’s recovery and help our service user’s, staff and local communities to improve their health and well-being. 

We also involve local people in improving the health centres and hospitals they use.

The Jaguar Land Rover Awards for Arts & Business is an Award for a partnership that has harnessed the power of the arts to engage young people.  The winner of the award will be announced on 7th October.  

In summary the Wolverhampton City Primary Care Trust have worked in partnership with the Wolverhampton City Youth Service, Youth Council, and local youth organisations including YWCA, Wolverhampton University and The Royal Wolverhampton Hospitals NHS Trust sexual health service.
