Abstract: The healing environmentFollowing the College's acknowledgement of the role of the environment and arts in health and wellbeing in two publications, 1,2 we were pleased to host our first conference on 'The healing environment' in February.Among the distinguished speakers was HRH The Prince of Wales, whose eloquently delivered keynote address is published in full in this issue.3 The impact of the environment on health and healing -whether in the hospital setting or the wider community -is no longer in doubt.I am therefore delighted that we are able to elaborate further this message with Professor Sir Michael Marmot's authoritative paper on the social environment and public health, and in the report of the conference at which views on these topics were so convincingly expressed.4
