Want to support of health professional acting on climate and risking their jobs? Before 1st tribunal on 15/04, I've just sent off an open letter to The MPTS and GMC - 1700+ signatures so far but room for more! Can you sign/share pls? change.org/p/help-medical…

Good to see.

Time for all health leaders to ask themselves:

❓If we’re not leading for planetary health, then what are we leading for❓

Pleased to also see a commitment to only serving local plant-based food at future events 🌍 This should be the norm for all health events.

Healthcare institutions could be... 'at best, upholding the status quo, which is damaging to human health and, at worst, complicit in climate collapse'

'How will history judge health institutions that allow our climate healthcare heroes to be vilified in this way?'

“Is it not right that health institutions be called upon to do the right thing and support their members who are risking their own freedoms and indeed professional registrations to raise the alarm?”

A must read and a timely piece 👇👇

Is it time for legal institutions to be asking similar questions?

“What has struck me the most is that the world of sustainable healthcare exists in a silo—an echo chamber of people who care about sustainability telling each other about sustainability.”

Quite.

Wonderful to hear that Chris Packham will be judging the Doctors’ Association UK 💙 medical student essay competition on biodiversity in healthcare & what can be done about it.

We are delighted to offer the top 3 finalists an opportunity to publish in BMJ Leader’s Greener Leader blog series.…

💯 We work in a multi-professional integrated healthcare system, where health leadership is and should be multi-professional.

Leadership conferences should reflect this in conference speaker representation and advocate for the value of the MDT.

We must lead and learn together.

A powerful session on women in leadership

A deeply uncomfortable dynamic at one point, where a man received (?took) more air time than any woman in the room

This is the reality women face everyday

We must reflect on whose voices are heard loudly and whose are not heard at all.

Great to hear medical student perspectives on leadership Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management Conference

It’s crucial we platform lived experience & student views

If only multi-professional undergraduate leadership learning was valued more though. We work in integrated systems, but train medics in silos.

🔘 Doctors taking climate action weren’t at risk of losing their license to practice by the conference sponsors GMC
