Lothian Green Social Prescribing Forum
Thank you to everyone who attended our first face to face Green Social Prescribing Forum.
The event created space for us to connect and share our work and allowed us to have good conversations about what is working and what we can do better. Our outdoor activities, hosted by people who are at different points in developing their green prescribing journeys, provided an opportunity to connect with peers and learn more about different activities that can be offered. A link to the event report, all the presentations, visual minutes and additional resources from the day are below:
