Join us for an inspiring seminar on green prescribing and planetary health.

The Binks Hub and REALITIES are excited to welcome attendees to a half-day event exploring alternative approaches to health and wellbeing. Focusing on green prescribing and planetary health, the first half of the seminar will open the floor to project teams to share their real-world insights into what’s working, where the gaps are, and how we can collectively move forward through community research and engagement.

In the second half, we will hear from invited organisations who are paving the way in integrating green prescribing in their communities; offering their valuable perspectives on how planetary health and local initiatives are linked.

Open to researchers, health practitioners, and community members, everyone is welcome to connect and learn.
