Our latest article is on #socialprescribing and calls for better evidence and better systems for collaboration journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Just returning from a winter wonderland holiday. Skies and snow and trees in mountains made my heart soar at times.

I so love getting the ‘holidays’ letters from my dear friends in the US. I love their tradition of letting their friends and family know about the highs and lows of the previous year. It is full of gratitude while acknowledging the sorrows.
