Working together to improve health and wellbeing in NHS Lothian

Face to Face joint network event.
We were delighted to welcome members of our Green Health and Tonic Arts networks to our combined Network event, looking at how we use arts and greenspace to improve wellbeing in hospitals and health care settings across Lothian.
Attendees had the opportunity to take part in a range of workshops, working with other network members to share experiences and develop learning.
