Our May webinar is a very topical subject – environmental issues are of huge importance. The good news is that the actions we need to take to tackle the climate crisis also have significant benefits for patients’ health, as well as the potential to boost staff morale and save money.
Given by Dr Katrina Davies, one of the directors of Greener Practice, the UK’s primary care sustainability network, it will consist of a general introduction to the health impacts of the climate and ecological emergency, the Greener NHS, sustainable healthcare principles and sustainable QI. We’ll consider active travel, air pollution, heatwave adaptation and the effects of medicines and the ocean.
The webinar will include breakout rooms for idea generation about how sustainable healthcare principles can be adopted and followed in MSK practice
