Hubs & networks

Hubs

A series of hubs create an interface with London and bring together thematic areas of research and education.

The Arts, Health & Wellbeing hub brings together academics, students and healthcare professionals around King’s with an interest in the intersection between arts and health. King’s distinctive approach leverages the university’s cultural connections and the reach of King’s Health Partners to support innovative research, trial arts-based health interventions and support the development of the healthcare professionals of the future.
