14.00 - 15.00 • Thursday 7 November

This workshop is an opportunity for attendees to apply what they have learned in a discursive fashion. Tanya Fosdick and Nicola Wass will co-facilitate this fun session which will dive into road safety practices and explore activities that we do that we probably shouldn’t! 

Tanya and Nicola will use analogies from other public health arenas to unpick how we might engage in more evidence-led practice, while exploring some of the ‘confessions’ which emerge in this safe-space discussion.
