Sustainable Conferencing
Year on year the UKPHA is reducing the ecological and carbon
footprint of the Annual Public Health Forum. Working in partnership
with Bournemouth and Poole Council and Primary Care Trust we are
determined that 2010 will see the lowest footprint ever! Delegates
are encouraged to enter into the spirit and travel by public
transport, cycle and walk wherever possible and to celebrate the
vegetarian only diet.
