Climate change is one of the biggest issues facing our world, and the healthcare industry is not immune. Can sustainable healthcare turn the tide and make us healthier at the same time?

In this episode we will discuss:
- The rise of heat-related illness
- The carbon footprint of the NHS
- Why the poorest in our communities will be most deeply affected
- Air pollution and how it’s already affecting children
- Eco distress
- What we can do
