We need each other, and these connections can build or diminish our resilience and wellbeing.Join us as we meet and connect with people.

Marie is the Head of Sustainability and Environment Manager for NHS Lanarkshire. She has recently taken on new responsibilities within the 'cutting edge' (that's for the surgeons) Monklands Hospital Replacement Programme.
