HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS: promoting health through public libraries
Stamford, Wednesday 9 October 2002
CPI Library and Information Policy Seminar - Organised in
partnership with the NHS Information Policy Unit
Following last yearıs successful Healthy Living event, this Seminar returns
to the theme of creating strategic partnerships in the provision of health
and of information on health and social care. It will identify current
trends and key issues for joint working, including the provision of
community information and the relationships between reading, health, leisure
and regeneration.
Alongside a focus on projects in Calderdale, Kirklees, Essex and other local
authorities, and on further links between the NHS and libraries, there will
be opportunities to probe the potential for libraries to develop effective
roles in working for healthy communities. The seminar will be of interest to
public library and other local government managers, health information
providers, regional and government bodies, library co-operatives and
partnerships, and library schools.
