Social Prescribing - the answer to our Covid Recovery? The Discussion (Bristol)

WATCH . READ . LISTEN . BLOG

OneHealthTech Bristol and a bunch of Social Prescribing enthusiasts and novices got together on the 21st April to delve into the topic of Social Prescribing and whether it could be the answer to our Covid Recovery. At the event, Victoria Norman from Signum Health and Jordan Rimmington from The Chalk Effect Climbing Project gave us an inspiring and insightful introduction into the area. You can catch up on everything that was discussed in our blog.

Now it's our chance to delve into discussions as a group of interested non-experts and chat about our thoughts and experiences at our Social Prescribing Virtual Article Cahoot - round 2!

TICKETS

Tickets are FREE, however as One HealthTech is a volunteer-led community we rely on our amazing sponsors and donations from attendees to help us host our well-regarded events. Please consider choosing a donation ticket, especially if you're attending on behalf of your company and can expense it.

ACCESSIBILITY

We’ve been awarded a Fairer Tech grant from doteveryone to make our events more accessible (woop woop!)

If for any reason there are barriers to engaging in the community we invite anyone to apply for up to £30 (but ask for more if you need, worth a try) per person per event to cover personal costs to improve this. The money can cover just about anything, including but not limited to child/other care, taxis if you’re not able-bodied, trains if you live out in the countryside, a live captioner, recording of the event or loss of earnings if you have a side job along your studies. If you feel it’s a barrier, we agree too. Find out more
