Living Medicine – Self Care for Coughs, Colds & Allergies
Saturday 10th September, 1pm to 5pm
With autumn now approaching, explore how resilience to infections can be improved through non-medical nutritional and herbal support. This practical session will include demonstrations, a walk in the garden, and a guide and utensils to take home.
Medical herbalist Alex Laird of Living Medicine will guide you on how to:
- Identify, smell and taste common healing plants
- Find out how plants’ defensive compounds promote and protect our own body functions
- Make food and herb remedies to treat simple coughs, colds and allergies
This is the second in a five part series of workshops but can be attended as a standalone session. It is ideal for anyone interested in plants, food and health. No previous knowledge is necessary, though we’d love you to share your own experience or family remedies. Alex Laird BSc set up the first herbal clinic in hospital dermatology at Whipps Cross Hospital and also practices at The Haven breast cancer support centre in Fulham.

QSIR: Practitioner is a nationally accredited program from the Advancing Change and Transformation (ACT) Academy that provides participants with the know-how to design and implement more productive services.
It is based on highly successful previous courses and offers a comprehensive curriculum that includes:
- Leadership Fundamentals
- Project Management
- Sustainability of Improvement
- Engaging and Working with Others
- Process Mapping
- Creativity in Improvement
- Measurement for Improvement
- Demand and Capacity
Participants attend for five days over a three month period, and must have an existing project or project idea.

Clinks and LVSC invite you to a workshop with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) on how to share information about health and care services for offenders in London and encourage services to be ‘outstanding’. CQC would like to build contacts with user and advocacy groups supporting people in the criminal justice system in London to better understand the quality of care they receive.
- Do you have clients whose health and care needs are not being met?
- Are your staff or volunteers having to spend more time and energy supporting clients with their health needs, or to navigate health and care services?
If so, this is your chance to tell CQC about the quality of health and care services and help them identify good and poor care.
Meet with CQC inspectors to share your experiences of health and care services (including GPs, hospitals, mental health, prison healthcare and social care services) and discuss where services need to be improved.
Clinks members tell us that both the variety and severity of your clients’ needs are increasing, while at the same time health and care services are being cut back and those that remain are under constant pressure.
The CQC inspect and regulate health and social care services (in prison and in the community) to ensure they are delivering safe, effective, high quality care to all their patients. They want to hear your stories, and the stories of people you support, of how health and care services in London are delivering for people in contact with the Criminal Justice System.
The event is free to attend; and vouchers and travel expenses can be paid for volunteers and service users. Please note this event is not aimed at service providers who are regulated by CQC.

The Hammersmith and Fulham Health and Wellbeing Board is currently developing its Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy for 2016-2021
Through this strategy, and the hard work which will follow, the Health and Wellbeing Board aims to drive forward even closer working between health, social care, the voluntary sector and other partners, improve people’s experience of health and care services and ensure the financial sustainability of the local system into the future.
This process provides an opportunity for all partners across Hammersmith & Fulham to agree collectively how we will work together to improve our resident’s health and wellbeing over the next five years and transform people’s experience of health and social care services.
To inform the development of our strategy, we are hosting a workshop with local stakeholders to discuss collective ambitions for the borough and how we will transform health and care services locally over the next five years
The workshop is an opportunity to hear from senior directors, managers and commissioners and feed your views and comments into the strategy development process.
We are very pleased to invite you to this workshop which is taking place on:
Tuesday 24 May from 10:30am to 12:30am at
Linden House, Corinthians Rowing Clubhouse,
