The Scottish Women’s Well-being Summit on 15 November at the Old Course Hotel in St Andrews, continues to attract an impressive field of speakers and sponsors.

 The event is intended to bring together a committed and engaged mix of leading female professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, and corporate business leaders, to provide them with the opportunity to network and collaborate, enjoying interactive workshops, whilst hearing from some of the country’s most inspiring women.

 

They can also look forward to physically and mentally renewing through a series of immersive experiences, including a group sea dip in the morning on St Andrews West Sands. Fire walking is lined up to really let delegates break out of their comfort zones for the day.

 

The latest sponsors and workshop facilitators lined up for the event include leading medical herbalist, Klayr Hunter, together with Hot Yoga Teacher, Linda Stewart.

 

24hrpharmacy, a Scottish based online pharmacy looking to make medicine and healthcare accessible to all,  will be running a workshop and supporting the summit, whilst Esteem Life Medical Group, a business rooted in clinical excellence and shaped by holistic thinking, are on board as the latest sponsor.

 

Joining the illustrious speaker line up is Dr Debora Kayembe, a woman who has made history as the first Black woman elected Rector of the University of Edinburgh,  together with Elizabeth Spencer, a social entrepreneur, Oxford alumna, and domestic abuse survivor whose flagship initiative, Threads of Change, blends circular fashion with trauma-aware peer support.

 

Lesley Canis, the journalist and charity worker who is behind the summit, said: “I am thrilled that this summit, the first of its kind, is continuing to attract this calibre of sponsors, supporters, and speakers.

 

“Just when I thought it really couldn’t get any better, we bring someone else on board who is really keen to engage with our delegates, and feels that their offering, or story, is the right fit.

“I am truly grateful to all of these incredible businesses and individuals. The line up has exceeded my wildest dreams, in assembling an absolute powerhouse for change, for the betterment of women’s health in the workplace,  and personally too, across their daily lives.”

 

“I appeal to as many delegates as possible to get onboard and secure their tickets, as it’s less than two months until we all get in the room together. I simply can’t wait, it’s going to be life changing, I hope, and the first of what may become an annual event.”

 

With over 15 years of specialist experience in women’s health, Klayr Hunter, founder of The Hunter Institute for Health,  will provide an exclusive experience in botanical medicine for women prioritising their health and longevity.

 

Esteem Life Medical Group will be running a pre summit webinar debunking myths around healthy ageing and marketing myths around skincare. Their GP, Dr Mucadiye Demirel, will be in attendance at the summit, together with Consultant Dermatologist, Dr Sidra Khan. On the day they will deliver a workshop focussed on longevity and healthy ageing.
