Why choose this course?
This interactive and practice-focused course brings together both social prescribers and those providing ‘green’, nature based activities. The blended teaching approach combines learning materials online that can be accessed at a time that is convenient to the participant with on campus workshops where learning can be discussed and applied.
This course offers the opportunity to not only gain a deeper understanding of the importance of green prescribing but also to enhance professional skills and attributes within a supportive environment.
