Are you an academic interested in research, evaluations or a new or older project lead that is wanting to connect with practitioners and other projects in the West of England. Then come along to our next Practitioners Network meeting in person on Tuesday 10th of June 2025

NHP has been established for 4 years and we are now moving into the next phase of development. As always, there will time for catching up, networking, for discussions on collaborations and emerging opportunities, and an update

The field of Nature and Health is expanding rapidly across the UK with a strong and growing evidence base and ever more evalutaions and models of practice. We stand for the benefits of the natural environment for our health and wellbeing and supporting the natural world. We explore emerging nature based approaches and a developing service provision across the UK. To support this growing movement in the West of England, the Network aims to provide space for a wide range of practitioners working across Green Care, Eco-Therapy and other nature-based health and wellbeing services to:

• Access peer reflection, networking, support, learning and CPD;
• Establish some of the key standards and quality assurance needed for partners, funders, commissioners, participants and practitioners to feel that they are offering a safe, effective and professional service;
• Build connections between practitioners, prescribers and funders; and
• Find out about updates and collaborate with the WENP Nature and Health Strategy Group regarding local and national initiatives, policy and research.
• For more information on the Practitioners Network, visit https://www.natureandhealthpractitioners.com/.

The Network recently had their first AGM and elected a Steering Group who will help guide the network forward.
