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. During the program they apply the learning from the course to their own improvement projects, being supported between workshops to help make them a success. They are therefore not only learning methodology in quality improvement, but actively changing and improving local services as they study.

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.
