Performing Medicine

Performing Medicine is proud to launch REACH, a landmark training programme for creative practitioners at the intersection of arts and health in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.

Funded by Greenwich Healthier Communities, our series of workshops and mentoring will help local artists build the professional skills, knowledge and understanding to design and deliver creative health initiatives to address health priorities within their communities.

Apply now if you are eager to develop your practice and become part of an exciting new network. Applicants must be living or working in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. We are keen to hear from a diverse range of people, especially from groups underrepresented in the sector, those with relevant lived experience and understanding of Greenwich communities most affected by health inequalities.

Full bursary places (at London Living Wage) available for 8 artists.
