Above all this will be a celebration of all our wonderful Active Practices and the network we have created together since the launch of this initiative three years ago..
If your practice team is looking for inspiration before signing up to the Active Practice Charter, come along to hear how becoming an Active Practice can transform patient and staff wellbeing. We would love as many of our Active Partnership and Public Health colleagues to join us too.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Rachel Morris MBE – Paralympic gold medallist in cycling and rowing
- Chrissie Wellington OBE – Global Head of Health and Wellbeing, parkrun
They will be joined by speakers from the national Active Partnerships team; Sport England; the We Are Undefeatable campaign team; and of course, our Active Practices!
