Brilliant work identifying the “hot spots” for environmental impact in theatres. Great to see our surgical colleagues paving the way on comprehensive Life Cycle Assessments and helping us focus on the areas most contributing to the footprint of the work of theatres. #time4change

Climate change IS a healthcare issue, both directly + indirectly. The Lancet actually describes it as the GREATEST threat to public health in the 21st century. - Chantelle Rizan gives a fascinating talk including her pHD work on reducing environment impact of operating theatres

At current projected rates, 1/3 BILLION people will need to migrate within 3 decades due to rising water globally from climate change. Professor Hugh Montgomery reminds healthcare organisations why we MUST react to the #ClimateEmergency and consequences of our (in)action #GASP21

“Around 72% of all birds in the world are now farmed poultry”. Professor Hugh Montgomery describing how fresh water, top soil, plant life, and animal life are currently all under critical threat from the way we are currently unsustainably using the world’s resources

@GreatOrmondSt have declared a climate emergency, really interesting to hear how many initiatives they have underway
