Thank you to those who joined us at the ‘Intersectoral and Multisectoral Collaboration and #HealthSystems Strengthening’ session today at @WePublicH@WePublicHealth #WCPH2023! 💙💚

Really enjoyed presenting our first empirical evidence from the multisectoral expert interviews we conducted to explore the factors that influence #bluegreenprescribing development in #Scotland. Great questions and spillover talks about #sustainablehealthcare #socialprescribing #trashinmed #pharmapollutuon after the session with awesome prospects to some potential collaborations with other EU researchers! 🏄🏻‍♂️🌊💊

“A strengthened health system is one that is #lowcarbon, #climateresilient, and sustainably optimises #naturebased health solutions.” 🌍

Delighted that there are so many talks about #bluegreen #socialprescribing and #trashinmed yday at @WePublicHealth@WePublicHealth #WCPH2023 esp in #planetaryhealth and #climatehealth spaces! 🌍

I'll be presenting our #BlueGreenPrescribing research today in the 'Intersectoral and Multisectoral Collaboration and Health Systems Strengthening' session at 12.30 in Sirmium, so if anybody is around and interested, let's talk more about #natureprescriptions, #pharmapollution, and #transition to #sustainablehealthcare! 💊🏄🏻‍♂️🌊

I had the pleasure of presenting our research from @BlueGreenWell at @Scottish_FwGrp (the group's 108th event!). I shared the Recommendations for Leveraging #BlueSpace for Health, which are available here: https://t.co/1V09PB1TD0 #sfg108

[Dr Niamh Smith @N_iamhSmith]

Brilliant morning session at #sfg108 learning about frogs, tadpoles, microplastics, beavers, riverbank erosion and much more! Good to broaden my horizons on #bluespace @Scottish_FwGrp and @StirUni campus even looks good in the rain!
