Over the past 3 years the Health Access for Refugees Programme (HARP) has been delivered in Doncaster, Hull, Leeds, Middlesborough (in partnership with the North of England Refugee Service), Sheffield (in partnership with City of Sanctuary) and Wakefield. The purpose of this conference is:
To celebrate the achievements of the programme, recognizing and publicly applauding the contribution of our volunteers and clients
To disseminate learning and good practice
To raise awareness about barriers encountered by newly arrived asylum seekers and refugees in accessing health and wellbeing services
To share our vision of a future model to improve health access
The target audience is the voluntary and community sector, health and social care professionals, funders, statutory organizations and the refugee and asylum seeking community. We will also be highlighting the impact of the new ‘NHS Charging Regulations’ on refugees and asylum seekers and discussing ways to raise awareness and prepare vulnerable groups for this forthcoming change in policy.
Limited spaces available. Booking Email: [email protected]
