#RightsIntoReality conference report
This year CHEX’s annual conference certainly packed a punch with its highest attendance ever, with 120 delegates gathering in Glasgow for a fascinating day of discussions and workshops around human rights and community-led health. We explored how we can use human rights-based approaches in our work and heard from incredible examples of practice from across Scotland and the UK - and what a fantastic day
This report summaries key takeaways from the conference and gives an insight into what was covered at our wonderful workshops. See it here.
CHEX is short for Community Health Exchange. We promote and support community-led health where people identify the issues that are important to them and organise to take collective action to address these issues and improve their health.
