The event, which was held at Coombe Girls’ School in New Malden on 8 March, covered a range of topics including practical ideas for happier living, mental health in young people and dementia care.
Dr Nick Merrifield Kingston GP and Clinical Director of New Malden and Worcester Park PCN which ran the event, said: “This was a great evening, and I’d like to thank everyone for being part of it. The talks were inspiring, and it was great to see so many join us on the livestream of the event. This was a great example of partnership working in our community.”
The evening showed the mighty force of what can be achieved when services join together. We had so many positive comments about hearing and accessing expertise in one place, from childhood to the elderly.”
