More About This Workshop
The educational and engaging workshop covers 3 recent reports:
Place & Health
This report declares a new approach to evaluating the role of place in health. It covers crucial issues of defining health with a biological, not social, framework and the role practitioners can have in creating health resilience for people. It also introduces a number of recommendations from policy interventions to macro frameworks such as the NPPF and the opportunity to define a more accurate version of ‘Living Environment’ in the UK’s Index of Multiple Deprivation using Centric Lab’s Stress Risk Score.
Creating Health Infrastructure
This report sets out a framework for reframing regeneration, a term used by industries and authorities to demonstrate social good through activity. The reframing proposed looks into the need to shift its current dialogue of a capital-first approach to its original meaning in the biological definition. The report proposes through case studies effective policy and practitioner tools to creating health infrastructure without bricks, mortar and carbon emissions.
Symbiotic Living with Nature
This report presents a decolonised view to the relationship between urbanisation and Nature. Population health has decreased hand in hand with our exploitation, degradation and abuse of Land. If we are to deliver healthy people and adapt to climate change we need to adopt a different understanding of our relationship with Nature.
At the end of the workshop you will receive a pdf copy of these 3 reports and a summary learning sheet from what was covered.
