Dr Matt Sawyer
I have been a GP in the North East of England for over 15 years. I currently work as a front line GP two days a week. The rest of the week is spent running my sustainability consultancy working to improve planetary health and human health. I covers sustainability issues facing all businesses but specialise in primary care. I help clinicians understand their carbon emissions footprint from running their practice and help produce a practice wide 'green plan' or roadmap to work towards net zero emissions.
I have a BSc in Environmental Science and MSc in Corporate Sustainability and Environmental Management.
I’ve delivered carbon literacy training to pharmaceutical companies, work on the RCGP Climate Emergency group and am a volunteer running the carbon footprint numbers behind the Climate App (www.theclimateapp.earth/)
