New CHEX practice development seminar - 'Health Improvement Topics: holistic approaches in a topic focused environment'

This CHEX practice development seminar will explore the challenges of working towards health improvement outcomes which are ‘topic-focused’ (e.g. smoking, obesity, alcohol, substance misuse, physical activity, sexual health, food and mental health) and will highlight community development approaches to tackling the health inequalities which underlie these health issues.

The seminar will include contributions from Bill Gray of Community Food and Health (Scotland) and a community health project (tbc) who will share their experiences of engaging with communities and their partners to work collaboratively using community development approaches towards topic based health improvement. 

The seminar will take place at the Melting Pot, 5 Rose Street, Edinburgh on Tuesday 31 August 2010 from 9.30am to 1.00pm and is open to all community health projects. There is no charge for attendance; however cancellation without prior notice will result in a charge.

To book your place, please register online here.  Please note that registration closes on Monday 16 August and places are limited.

If you require any further information please contact Olivia Hanley at olivia@scdc.org.uk or call CHEX on 0141 248 1990.
