NAHN – National Arts in Hospitals Network

The National Arts in Hospitals Network (NAHN) is the UK network for arts managers working in UK hospitals. It offers 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. To achieve this, we work closely with national arts in health stakeholders to represent and promote our work at a national level, to drive sector change, to develop national guidelines, promote arts in hospitals and be a strong national voice.
