Conference plans and a call for initiatives

The plans for the conference are blossoming!

I'm really excited about the interactive "World Cafe" workshop which will be looking at multiple themes relating to the primary care sustainability agendas. Your Cafe proprietor for the event will be Trevor Thompson. I think it's likely to be heavily oversubscribed so I would make sure that you sign up to the limited places as soon as the bookings for the sessions are opened up.

I've had quite a few e-mails from individuals and practices about local and practice sustainability initiatives. I'd really like to see as many practices as possible post their ideas and experiences on this site so that we can pull them all together in time for the conference. One was from Dr John Hain at the Nidderdale Group Practice. He told of his experience doing visits on his electric assisted bike. Hopefully he will be able to bring it along to the conference so that we can covet it!

Finally it would be brilliant to hear of any sustainable travel plans that delegates have, again I'd really appreciate it if they could be posted on this site. We would love to hear about them no matter how simple they seem.

Best Wishes,

Tim Ballard
