Abstract

This is a paper that explores the potential of culture and the arts across Derbyshire County Primary Care Trust (PCT) and Derbyshire Community Health Services (DCHS) as a means of raising aspiration, transforming environments and promoting well being, health gain and cultural change. It acknowledges that the structures for commissioning and providing services are changing, illustrates examples of how the arts have impacted on specific communities and health issues across the county, and suggests potential for future development.
