Our work is co-designed with artists, scientists, healthcare staff and patients, to meet specific clinical and wellbeing needs. We deliver a diverse range of evidence-based participatory programmes and live performance events across a range of art forms, including dance, music, visual art, poetry and magic. Breathe is a values driven organisation, with a small team who make a big impact. Our innovative and artistic approach to transforming healthcare experiences, offer those we work with, a sense of empowerment, hope and creative fulfilment when they need it most. Breathe are delighted to be one of the first arts and health companies to be recognised by NHS England for our work. Patients and communities can access our programmes through referrals from a healthcare practitioner or link worker – making our work part of mainstream healthcare. To help achieve this, we back up our creative approaches with robust clinical research. Our programmes are developed in collaboration with leading healthcare professionals and cultural partners worldwide, then assessed for its medical and economic value. Our research papers are published in peer-reviewed medical journals. Breathe also offers consultancy services in healthcare and business, including corporate communications training, unique team building opportunities and keynote speakers.
