This will be the first of a series of virtual meetings designed to bring together Fellows of the Health & Care Interest Group and align on its purpose.

We will identify interest areas, ideas and resources to develop meeting agendas, event plans, workstreams under our purpose.

These will be supplemented with collaborations across other related RSA groups and initiatives and external organisations.

The aspiration for the RSA Health & Care Interest Group is to promote a systemic and personal view with a balanced scope of mental health, social and personal care models, non-visible and under-recognised conditions and roles alongside clinical, medical, physical and preventative areas.

This will bring together diverse perspectives from lived experience and multidisciplinary expertise in collaborative discussion and knowledge exchange to identify and address both challenges and opportunities. We welcome those actively engaged or interested to join and contribute however you can with accommodations.

In this first meeting of 2025, we will discuss the purpose, activities, your interests and levels of input to future events and actions.
