Irish Street Medicine Symposium 2017

Irish Street Medicine Symposium 2017

The 3rd Irish Street Medicine Symposium takes place 29th and 30th of September.

The Symposium is an excellent opportunity to join a growing community of health and social care workers, academics, policy makers and planners working together to improve health outcomes for the most vulnerable in our society – homeless people, drug users, prisoners and vulnerable migrants.

There will be ample opportunity to share information about different services for homeless people and other marginalised group, to identify gaps and to highlight care innovation and solutions.
Presentations and workshops will focus on new research, innovative initiatives and new ways to promote health and wellbeing among vulnerable populations.
