Health Forum

Each year the PPG try to organise a health forum or activity day around a relevant topic.   Our last event which was on Chronic Pain Management was very well received.

So what’s next?  If you have an idea for a Health Forum Topic or Activity, Get in touch and we will see what we can do.
