This was a real highlight of 2022 for me and a great finish to a hugely enjoyable and inspiring 3 years as a Scotgem year 2 Generalist Clinical Mentor. Thank you Shona for the write up, it's brilliant!
We've got a brand new post on the blog by current third year student Shona Gallagher!

Government figures show cost per road casualty fatality was £2.1m in 2021. The government reportedly spent £1.3 million overall on its #HighwayCode campaign. More and longer term funding is needed for an awareness campaign to make a difference: ow.ly/Is0650MC8Gj
ALT Quote from Sarah Mitchell: "Taking aside the human cost to families and friends who have unnecessarily lost someone on our roads, in a purely financial sense, investing in preventing deaths and serious injury makes sense. Saving human lives is not something we should be scrimping and saving on."

Do you work in primary care and want to reduce your carbon impact, while improving patient care and public health?
Explore the new and free @RCGP Net Zero hub - packed full of information and resources developed with support from @GreenerNHS to help decarbonise primary care⬇️
📢 The NHS produces almost 5% of all UK emissions. That’s why it’s become the world’s first health service to commit to net zero emissions. Explore #RCGPNetZero resources and decarbonise primary care ➡️ elearning.rcgp.org.uk/netzer…

Watch this fullscreen, turn the volume up, and lose yourself for a few minutes.
Trees are amazing!
In these moments we could all use a breath. Luckily nature is there to help.
Nature is amazing. Protect it.

Not sure who needs to hear this or can do anything but we have a big challenge in antibiotic availability and a huge demand - red squares out of stock. – at Ealing, London

Another reason to think #activetravel. Leave the car at home when you can. This applies to electric vehicles too. It's not simply fuel emissions, it's #microplastic #pollution too. Get fitter and save our #oceans. A no brainer! @HHCA_ @PharmDeclares
Tire and road wear is one of the leading causes of microplastic pollution. The impact on oceanic health is immense: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…
Local, circular healthcare supply chains are critical
