Social Prescribing Networking Event

Dear All, 

I am delighted to invite you to the forthcoming Social Prescribing Networking and Information event which is taking place at the Kings Church, Raans Road, Amersham on  Thursday 17th October between  5-8pm.

The event has been organised by Chiltern District Council to bring together health service providers and the voluntary community sector to increase awareness of the opportunities social prescribing offers and also to identify the next steps forward for collective working and training support.
