The seminar is free to attend and will look at a number of different green healthcare options, as well as supporting research and the practicalities of delivery. There will be a keynote address from Anne Hawkins, Director of the Mental Health Partnership in Glasgow. The event is free to attend and will take place from 10am-4pm, at Pollock House in Glasgow.
