Referred social prescribing and the self-management of ones own health with arts, social and cultural activities are integral throughout life due to the role they play in mediating health and wellbeing. The importance of placing self-management and social prescribing within the clinical pathway is both cost-effective and can alleviate strain on diminishing resources. However, outcome-based evidence is key in order to place arts in health practice into the care pathway.

Jules mentioned the use of the three Es: Economic, Effectiveness, and Efficiency for evaluating practice in order to maintain sustainable funding streams. The inquiry outlined the effects of arts and cultural engagement across the lifespan, and advocated its use for supporting a healthier society and healthier life. Published in July , the report provides guidelines for a national landscape where arts and cultural opportunities are accessible to everyone.

The overall aim of the report is to inform future research, practice and policy strategies as recommended in the 10 steps for change as shown below. The launch of the Culture, Health and Wellbeing Alliance. On the second night of its launch, Dr Helen Chatterjee, chair of the new alliance, put out a call to join the new national strategy.

The objectives of the alliance include increased collaboration, networking and communication across the nation by bringing together those working across research, policy and practice. The partnerships that will work together to further the field. The alliance will work alongside strategic alliance members and a steering group made up of arts and heath organisations working in practice.
