title: Time to trade for health.
abstract: There is a growing realization that present levels of healthcare provision can only be maintained with the engagement of the community in the maintenance of their own health, and that stronger communities are healthier communities. 'Time 2 Trade for health' looks at a different approach to public engagement. Time banking is a 'community currency' which uses the hour as the unit of exchange, where every single person's input is valued equally.
