Anticholinergic burden audit in our practice has really changed our prescribing habits! Greener Practice

Love this. Huge fan of your work in health creation Growing Health Together and the ecological model of health. Jake Robinson Greener Practice Greener NHS Kamila Hawthorne

Creating the consistent shared space for 'constant tinkering' - a fresh look at the concept of continuity of care ( for people living with multimorbidity). RCGP Myriam Dell'Olio

GPs have to adhere to 10’s of 1000’s of NICE recommendations. Many contradictory and most not based on research done on GP patient populations. Leading to over testing & medicalisation. Much of our work does not fit into NICE tramline’s. NICE must adapt pulsetoday.co.uk/news/workload/…

As a Critical Care doctor, I care about ocean health because:

If the ocean is sick, people get sick
If the ocean dies, most of the planet and most of us will die
All of us impact upon the ocean at home and at work
All of us can reduce this impact

Great to see this!

This is the difficult part of transition.

Going green has to be clean.

A well intended shift from coal to wood was a cleaner move but it isn’t clean and is actually detrimental to populations, carbon capture and biodiversity devastation.

🇬🇧 The #AxeDrax (Axe Drax Biofuelwatch ) campaign is calling for an end to biomass subsidies in the UK. It is centred on the Drax power plant in Yorkshire which is the single largest source of carbon emissions in the UK.

Very excited to receive my first batch of NHS Forest trees. What a future they hold through helping to reduce emissions and increase biodiversity across our Yorkshire Ambulance sites.

Hi The Real Prof. Katharine Hayhoe! I love this 8 point infographic. As a GP and founder of Greener Practice to me, impact of climate solutions improves health through improving the determinants of health. Is there something with more engaging visuals to use with patients and public?
