New: Call for Nature and Wellbeing Act
Published by Mary on Tue, 2015-01-06 12:33

The Centre for Sustainable Healthcare has partnered with The Wildlife Trusts and the RSPB to call for a new Nature and Wellbeing Act. The Act would put nature at the heart of how decisions are made about health, housing and other development, education, economic growth, flood resilience and every community. Multiple studies show that people who have a connection with the natural environment stay healthier and recover from illness more quickly than those who are isolated from nature, which is the whole rationale behind CSH’s NHS Forest programme.

Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital makes innovative changes
Published by Mary on Mon, 2014-08-11 13:33

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Trust has been implementing many different innovative ideas since the new Queen Elizabeth Hospital was built three years ago. Starting with setting up a fruit and veg stall, to provide a healthy alternative to what was sold in the shops inside, a monthly farmers market followed 18 months later and now orchards and hay meadows are being planted, woodland thinned out and paths put in, while volunteer-led walks are being set up inside and outside the hospital to help the elderly stay mobile throughout the year.
