Creative Health Research Round-up 2025

About the Event

The Research Round-Up is a new annual showcase celebrating the latest evidence in creative health.

Jointly hosted by the National Centre for Creative Health (NCCH) and the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH), this online event will highlight some of the most important research published in 2025. It is designed to help academics, practitioners, policymakers, and commissioners alike to understand what the past year has offered in evidencing the benefits and best practice of creative health.

The afternoon will feature presentations from selected researchers and project teams, alongside the launch of a downloadable report summarising every eligible submission in lay terms. The event will offer both inspiration and practical insight, helping to connect research with real-world application across health, social care, and community contexts.
