Hamaad is a graduate medical student, who currently works as our International Development Associate. He authored NASP's Social Prescribing Around the World report in collaboration with the World Health Organization, based on the work of the International Social Prescribing Collaborative in 31 countries.
Hamaad has been instrumental in the International Collaborative and in the Social Prescribing Student Champions programme, and has delivered inspirational speeches about community-centred care at our events and conferences.
