The opening speakers and panel chairs will help with exploration of the ‘edges’ of creative health; how it relates to healthcare systems, planetary health, the economy, and shifting cultures. For a full list of creative and inspiring panelists, artists, performers and workshops facilitators, see the programme here.
This conference is an opportunity for the creative health sector to come together for nourishment, knowledge and support.
The theme for 2026 is Common Ground and you will be learning from people in your own and related fields about how you can come together to effect deep and much-needed systemic change.
As ever, the conference will be guided by the Creative Health Quality Principles, to build a gathering that is person-centred, equitable, safe, creative, collaborative, realistic, reflective and sustainable.
Their main hub will be Barnsley Civic, with satellite workshop/meeting spaces around Barnsley town centre.
