CLIMATE AND HEALTHCARE - NEW PODCAST!!

At first glance, healthcare and the NHS might not seem to be linked to the climate crisis. And doesn't the NHS have enough on it's plate at the moment without being expected to 'green' itself? This podcast episode discusses how sustainability and healthcare and inter-linked and how they impact each other, with climate action leading to healthier people and better health outcomes, and also how the healthcare system impacts on the climate.

👩‍⚕️ We can prevent 125,000 deaths (a quarter of all UK deaths) a year by meeting current climate goals

👩‍⚕️ 13% of asthma cases globally are a result of traffic fumes
Air pollution is also a significant contributor to heart disease, and also affects children's ability to learn

👩‍⚕️ A hotter, dirtier planet leads to poorer health outcomes and more deaths

👩‍⚕️ Primary care (GPs) is about 25% of the NHS, making GPs responsible for about 5.75 million tonnes CO2e

👩‍⚕️ About 60% of General Practice emissions are from medicines, 40% is from energy usage in buildings, travel, goods and services.

Greener Respiratory Care

Looking at improving patient outcomes in respiratory care with less environmental harm.

Covering environmental impacts on respiratory health, current respiratory care, the carbon footprint of care and how to address emissions within the respiratory reviews.

There and back again - A tale of travel footprints

We drive a lot of miles in the UK in cars and vans, and this is increasing 

Air pollution damages human health in the short term 

Carbon emissions contribute to the climate crisis, causing damage in the short, medium and longer term 

There are a lot of positive actions which benefits individuals, the staff, and the wider community 

There are multiple cobenefits of more active commuting and businesses can help facilitate this through their actions 

Reducing our impact in general practice - what can we do?

 What are the main sources of emissions within general practice and what role does general practice play in moving towards a zero-emissions health sector? 

The Health Context for a Green Recovery

A Green and Fair Recovery : The Health Context for a Green Recovery

How businesses can meet the challenge of the climate crisis

 Podcast on how businesses can meet the global climate crisis, including:

•       Tangible signs and effects of climate change in the UK
•       The health and business gains achievable through meeting climate targets
•       How climate change awareness has been affected by the Covid crisis
•       The benefits of engaging employees on environmental issues
•       Changes that businesses can make to become more climate-friendly

carbon footprint of urban practices - a pilot study

Greenhouse gas emissions from healthcare are substantial. Salford CCG identified a number of practices to have their carbon footprint measured. This report identifies and compares practice with small, medium and large patient lists, calculates their carbon emissions and hotspots and discusses future actions to reduce operational carbon
