Healing Through Nature: How Green Spaces Improve Health

  • Summary

  • Urban green and blue spaces (UGS) are hugely beneficial to human and planetary health. With the environments in which we live, and the rapid growth of urbanization, we as healthcare professionals have an advocacy role in promoting green space.
    Join me as I chat with Sarah and Dan from the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare. We talk about the importance of green space for health, some of the amazing ongoing examples of promotion in health care and the offerings on the table. This includes NHS Forest, being led by Dan and Sarah, which promises to give trees to any GP practice!!
