Fuel Poverty and Health Workshop

 

29^th April 2015 2-4 pm

Venue: Seminar room 2, Chancellor’s Building, RIE

 

Do you deliver face-to-face services in the community, in people’s homes, health centres and clinics?  Do you work with people more vulnerable to fuel poverty and those whose health is likely to be made worse by living in a cold, damp home, such as:

·        People with respiratory illnesses or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease?

·        Older people, people with disabilities or those with very young children or who are expecting a baby?

·        Anyone experiencing economic hardship? 

This free workshop will help participants to identify a fuel poor household, understand the impact on health, and know where and how to refer them on for further help.  For further details and to book a place please visit www.nhslothianhpstraining.com

 

This workshop is delivered by Changeworks in partnership with the Health Promotion Service.
