International breakfast seminars

C3 Collaborating for Health runs a series of international breakfast seminars, which cover a wide range of topics focusing on innovative approaches to preventing chronic disease and promoting healthy living. Each seminar is given by an expert keynote speaker from C3’s international network whose work will interest and inform us in this country and who will enjoy presenting to an audience in London. The seminars are held in the historic House of St Barnabas in the heart of Soho.
