DESCRIPTION:Research Café: Creative Health and Health Inequalities\n\nJoi
 n us for a panel discussion on Creative Health and Health Inequalities i
 n Greater Manchester. The relationship between the arts\, culture\, heri
 tage\, health and wellbeing is increasingly referred to as ‘Creative Hea
 lth’. Our speakers will collectively address the potential role that cre
 ative health can play in increasing health equity - with particular refe
 rence to Greater Manchester which was the first city region to implement
  a creative health strategy and where levels of deprivation and health i
 nequalities are the highest in the UK.\n\nSpeakers\nProfessor Stephanie 
 Snow\n\nStephanie Snow is Professor of Health\, History and Policy and A
 cademic Lead for Community Engagement and Involvement at the University 
 of Manchester. Her early research focused on the life and work of John S
 now including his role in the introduction of anaesthesia to medicine in
  the 1840s which produced Operations Without Pain (Palgrave Macmillan) a
 nd Blessed Days of Anaesthesia (Oxford University Press). More recently 
 Stephanie has focused on contemporary health and medicine including stud
 ies of the global reconfiguration of stroke in the 1990s\, the history o
 f black and minority ethnic clinicians in the NHS\, and the history of t
 he international quality movement in healthcare which has transformed he
 alth\, policy and practice at every level. Since 2017 she has led a nati
 onal programme of work involving volunteers and stakeholders from health
  and heritage organisations to create the first oral history collection 
 which captures the experiences of patients\, staff and communities acros
 s the 75+ year history of the UK’s NHS. Voices of Our National Health Se
 rvice is one of the largest health-focused collections in the world and 
 includes testimonies of the recent Covid-19 pandemic. It is deposited at
  the British Library in perpetuity – nhs70.org.uk.\n\nDr Luke Munford\n\
 nLuke Munford will share his perspective as a health economist on the ev
 idence and evaluation required to demonstrate the economic impact of cre
 ative assets in the context of increasing poverty and deprivation in a f
 inancially challenged health and care system. Luke was part of the Organ
 isations of Hope project which mapped creative health assets against hea
 lth inequalities in Greater Manchester.\n\nDr Rebecca Gordon Nesbitt\n\n
 Rebecca Gordon Nesbitt who researched and drafted the 2017 parliamentary
  report from which the term ‘creative health’ derived and the Greater Ma
 nchester Creative Health Strategy will share her perspectives on the pol
 icy context of creative health and what the opportunities are to develop
  and strengthen this agenda within integrated care systems and beyond. R
 ebecca will consider how she thinks creative health might mitigate the s
 ocial determinants of health.\n\nRegister\nThis event is free and open t
