The National Forum for Health and Wellbeing (NFHW) has great pleasure in inviting you to attend this, the second virtual Public Engagement Seminar in the series “COPING with COVID-19”.
Saturday, 22nd May 2021 at 2.00 pm
Chief Guest & Introductory Speaker : Professor Calum Semple OBE
Professor of Child Health and Outbreak Medicine University of Liverpool
Guest of Honour : Professor Maggie Rae President of the Faculty of Public Health
This second public engagement seminar, held in association with our partner organisations such as the University of Central Lancashire and the Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, follows the successful first event in the series, attended by almost 4000 visitors, which examined the effects of the pandemic on mental health.
The current event shifts focus to the longer-term effects of the disease and how these can be managed. With a distinguished panel of speakers, listed below, the meeting presents a wide range of perspectives including from those who have first-hand experience of the disease as a patient. Together these will create a stimulating and thought-provoking environment for those involved.
The long-term effects of the Pandemic on individual health are of very wide concern and the speakers will have much to say which will interest members of the general public. The presentations will also be particularly relevant to health professionals and health professionals in training, administrators, local authority and other elected members, those working in social care and the voluntary sector etc. The organisers believe that it will also interest local leaders and voluntary groups with a stake in promoting the health and wellbeing of their own communities.
Looking ahead to the Seminar, Professor Romesh Gupta, OBE, Founder Chair of NFHW said,
“As an organisation, NFHW is dedicated to the promotion of Health and Wellbeing across all our communities, particularly the hard to reach. The virtual format used for this and previous events is proving to be a powerful new tool allowing us access to new and wider audiences.
We can only exploit this opportunity with the support of the many distinguished speakers who have so enthusiastically contributed to our programme. We are all very much in debt to them.”
Attending the seminar is free.
