Online Homeless Health Tutorials
We run regular, free, online tutorials on various topics relating to homeless health which are designed to support anyone working with patients or clients who experience homelessness. We aim to build frontline workers’ knowledge about common conditions or health issues which may affect people who are homeless and help them to best support clients managing a physical or mental health condition.
If you’re a frontline worker supporting those experiencing homelessness, take a look at the tutorials we have planned below and book your place or email anja.mclean@nhs.net to express interest in a particular date or make a suggestion for a future topic.
