Health events have been held by the Hindu Forum in the past for the general community not just for Hindu’s. Delivering insight into health issues that affect the general public. These events have been successful in the past and is well received by all who attend.
The events have been themed around the health concerns that are current e.g. Diabetes, HF, Chronic illnesses, Blood Pressure, Obesity
The format of the events include inviting guest speakers on the specialist subject areas and matter experts. Invitation is also sent to services that can create a workshop style set-up so that people can visit stands and learn more about individual areas of interest. Our speakers have included Consultants, Dr, Nurses and general specialists on their areas of specialism. Stands are setup by the invited bodies e.g. hospital, CCG, private stands and awareness stands for public organizations.
