This , we’re celebrating nature as a health asset🌱

One year on, NHS Lothian Charity’s Nature Rehabilitation Ranger Service is already making a real difference for staff, patients and the planet.

The service was created to break down barriers to accessing green space - bringing the proven benefits of nature directly into healthcare settings. Based at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and Astley Ainslie Hospital, our Rangers support wellbeing, recovery and biodiversity across two very different sites.

Phase Two of the Women’s Health Plan focuses on expanding menstrual health education, improving diagnostic pathways for faster diagnosis, and reducing waiting times for treatment.

This includes better management of menstrual symptoms and conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis, adenomyosis, and polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS).

A strong focus on Gynaecology and Reproductive Health in Phase Two is essential to ensuring women receive the care, understanding, and support they deserve.
