Another 4k signatures are needed before 11th May. I can’t believe there isn’t more interest in clean air for the NHS.
UK chronic illness community please do your thing 🙏
We've got two weeks to get this to 10,000 signatures!
What do we need to change, to make this happen!?

THREAD: the summer Covid wave in the UK continues.
Basically, there is a LOT of Covid around and not a lot of other respiratory viruses.
If you have cold or flu symptoms, it's probably Covid.
The latest hospital data from England shows steady, quite high levels. 1/8

The Social Prescribing Around the World report is available to view now.
Relaunched by NASP, the report highlights the remarkable global progress of social prescribing over the past year. Featuring new examples of social prescribing, including Denmark: ow.ly/NzJP50SAqyz
ALT Social Prescribing in Denmark. 2 of Denmark's 5 regions actively fund social prescribing programmes, including arts based initiatives. From 2016 to 2019, four municipalities piloted the "Arts on Prescription" scheme, funded by The Danish Health Authority. The primary referral channels involved job agencies. Other initiatives like "Nature on Prescription" and "Exercise on Prescription" schemes are also gaining popularity, targeting individuals returning to everyday life after long-term sick leave
