Date set for the first Cumbria and Lancashire Climate and Health Community of Interest meeting
8th October 2024
On the 9th May 2024, the Cumbria and Lancashire Public Health Collaborative and the Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB Population Health team hosted a joint ‘Climate and our Population’s Health Workshop’ in Preston.
The event, chaired by Abdul Razaq, Director of Public Health for Blackburn with Darwen Council and Andy Knox, Associate Medical Director of Population Health, Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board, aimed to share good practice and identify what we would like to work together on as a system.
One of the actions from the workshop was to organise an informal Climate and Health Community of Interest to take forward the conversation. In particular, understanding what work is underway, what gaps there are & trying to influence and advise into the work that is already going on and avoiding duplication.
The first meeting will be held on Tuesday 12th November at 1pm-2pm via MS Teams. Please contact ellie.shackleton@blackburn.gov.uk if you are interested in attending or would like more information.
