Nature at the Heart of Sustainable Healthcare

This year the NHS Forest Conference will be examining evidence and experience of the impact green spaces have on healthcare sites. Making nature available to patients and staff has a positive impact, but sometimes healthcare teams can lack the hard evidence to take to policy makers and senior leaders to make change happen. Our speakers all have experience of how to make the case for nature and health and will be sharing their invaluable knowledge at this year’s conference.

The day will include three sessions alongside a keynote and the annual NHS Forest Awards:

• Impact on health, wellbeing and care – communities, staff, patients
• Impact on the ground – practical delivery
• Making the case – sharing evidence, investment and the future

We are very pleased to be welcoming Dr Radha Modgil back as the chair again this year.

Our keynote speaker will be Jinny Blom. Jinny trained and practised as a transpersonal psychologist and psychotherapist, working for many years in mental health. She is now an award-winning garden designer and Artist in Residence for Chelsea & Westminster Hospital.
