Dr Tim Bracewell-Milnes, Consultant Gynaecologist on Fertility and Sarah McKenna, Dietetics and Nutrition specialist from HCA Healthcare UK led insightful talks on fertility and nutrition. The London Bridge hospital, located on Levels 4-6 of The Shard, offers a range of services such as Cardiac Care, Cancer Care, Digestive Health and Women’s Health.
Lastly we were joined by Astrologist, Chloe Smart. Occupiers were sent their birth charts in advance of the session ready to begin to understand a little on how to read them. Birth chart reading is focused on self-discovery and gaining a deeper understanding of yourself.
Throughout the week, occupiers were also provided with free fruit and mandala colouring, plus one lucky occupier won a wellness hamper in a raffle. The programme of annual events in the building encourages occupiers to come together as a community.
