The twice postponed conference, due to Covid-19, on challenges around the introduction of Social Prescribing in Cornwall and now, the new Integrated Care System(ICS), became the focus of GP’s, Health Managers and representatives from the Voluntary Sector on Friday 1 October at the Eden Project.
Here we cover the main speaker’s talks and questions put to the panels during the day. Some are recorded and others are written papers.
We are very grateful to Justin Leigh for his facilitation and involvement throughout the day and his local knowledge on health matters which proved to be invaluable.
