About this Event
In this workshop, we will step into the great outdoors to discover the impact on human health of spending time in protected landscapes.
Welcome to the Natural Health Service! In this interactive workshop, we will step into the great outdoors to discover the powerful impact on human health and wellbeing of spending time in our protected landscapes.
Protected Landscapes generate economic, social and health value for both their regions and the nation. At this event, we’ll investigate how a Natural Health Service can integrate these values into current systems and services. We’ll explore why access to nature matters, how being outdoors engages our senses, and how a green-social prescribing programme through the NHS can support our health and wellbeing.
The event will include lightening talks by a research team currently exploring these ideas in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the North York Moors National Park.
The workshop is supported by York Business School and the Institute for Health and Care Improvement at York St John University, Yorkshire Dales National Park, North York Moors National Park, North York Moors Trust and Nidderdale and the Howardian Hills National Landscapes.
Please join us for insights, discussion and a dose of nature.
Events Access & Inclusivity
At York St John University we are committed to making our events as welcoming and inclusive for as many people as possible.
If you are planning to attend one of our events and have specific access requirements, including wheelchair access, then please contact us by e: [email protected] or t: 01904 876318 and we will make every effort to accommodate you.
If you need a suitable seat reserved for you (and your companions), please let us know, preferably at least one week before the event. Sign language interpreters and real-time captioning may be requested in advance. Please contact us as soon as possible (ideally at least 3 weeks before the date of the event) if you require either BSL interpretation or captioning. We will try our best but cannot guarantee provision.
Freedom of speech within the law and academic freedom are core principles of our University and underpin our mission to foster intellectual curiosity, rigorous debate, and the pursuit of knowledge. Our staff / students / SU colleagues are entitled to express their ideas and views, providing they do not violate the law. The law rightly prohibits speech that incites violence, terrorism and hate, but does not prohibit speech that others may find upsetting or offensive.
As a University that embodies social justice, we expect people to treat each other with dignity and respect, but it is not our role to censor ways of thinking or stifle debate between those who hold opposing views.
We understand that it can be frustrating to face views and perspectives that do not reflect our inclusive ethos at York St John University. However, we will not take disciplinary action against staff or students for lawful expression of their views, regardless of petitions, media campaigns or other external pressures.
