NAHN – National Arts in Hospitals Network

The National Arts in Hospitals Network (NAHN) is the professional membership organisation for arts managers working in UK hospitals. NAHN provides guidance, support and networking for anyone working in the management of hospital art collections and the provision of arts participation opportunities for staff members, patients and the whole hospital community. Through regular collaborative events, conferences and webinars, NAHN builds support for all arts managers working in UK hospitals, a place to share best practice, build knowledge and evidence, celebrate success, and develop a UK-wide programme. Our vision is for every patient, visitor and staff member in UK hospitals to have access to high quality, impactful arts interventions to support recovery and wellbeing. We want to embed high quality arts programmes in every hospital in the country, using an evidence-based quality framework, to improve the environment and experience of being in hospital for every patient, visitor, and staff member.
