Spending time in green space is beneficial for people’s mental and physical health and wellbeing. This network is a space to share ideas on how to incorporate nature into healthcare, ask questions, discuss the latest research and celebrate successes.

For more ways to get involved in the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare’s Green Space for Health programme, including greening your NHS site and accessing evidence and resources, visit the NHS Forest website
