Creative Health PGCert

UCL (University College London)

Gain the skills you need to become a sought after practitioner working at the interface of culture, nature, arts and health. The Creative Health course is the first of its kind in the world, and will enable you to be a changemaker in the rapidly changing health, social care and voluntary third sector. Taught at UCL, you’ll learn from renowned academics who are helping to shape the future of healthcare through the creative health field.Following the introduction of the Creative Health MASc in September 2021, the Postgraduate Certificate (PG Cert) in Creative Health is the first of its kind in the UK and continues the postgraduate expansion of the Arts and Sciences department.The PG Cert seeks to address growing interest in the emerging field of Creative Health, with a focus on health equity, lived experience, community assets, research-led practice, non-clinical interventions including social prescribing, and experiential learning.The PG Cert contributes to creating a new generation of socially engaged scholars and practitioners to meet the needs of a changing health, social care and voluntary third sector, where personalised care and the patient experience are mainstreamed into primary, secondary and community health.This course will appeal to candidates who are passionate about creating a more socially inclusive society where arts, culture and the natural environment are central to supporting personalised care, tackling health inequity and improving the patient experience.
