The Roman Baths and Bath College have teamed up to provide an innovative course looking at “Wellbeing Then and Now”.
Sue Judge, course tutor, said: “We are aware of the pressure on the NHS and the fact that many long term out patients with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis can feel alone and in discomfort.
“We want to create a small group of about a dozen patients to have fun and find out more in the amazing new Education Centre at The Roman Baths in Swallow Street.
“The group will be supported to share and learn from each other as well as from the teaching staff and staff at the Baths.
“The group will find out more about The Romans and their attitudes on health, wellbeing and the use of the hot water spa.”
The course will begin on Tuesday 1st November, between 2.30pm and 5.30pm, for six weeks.
It is being offered free for adults (19yrs+) who are not working or are on a low-income.
Numbers are limited and advance booking is essential. For more information or if you have any questions, contact Adult Community Learning via [email protected] or call 01225 328 822.
