Huge thanks to @HARK_Films for creating this for us, featuring the brilliant @reelsophiec. #AirPollution is the number one environmental risk to our health in the UK. We urgently need to reduce pollution. Spread the word - and join us. #CleanAir

Can we get these bins in our refurbed coffee shop at @northmidnhs to help increase our recycling? Not everyone coming to hospital site will have headspace to remember a reusable cup and this could help bridge between. 🙏
ALT Close up of a bin specifically for recycling hot drink cups. It’s in shape of a one-metre tall takeaway coffee cup with three holes in white lid marked “lid” “liquid” and “cup”, with bright green sign on top reading “recycle your coffee cup here”.
Yet another reason why we need to urgently reduce #AirPollution.
Our health depends on this, now and in the future!

A new report published today by the Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants provides further evidence to suggest that air pollution can contribute to cognitive decline & dementia risk.🏭

@NM_Environment @NorthMidNHS small but important thing waste and experience wise... any chance we can have real plates and cutlery back in the canteen? I imagine stopped for obvious infection control reasons (because its cheaper for our catering supplier not to wash up?)...

Three overarching health messages from the latest IPCC report:
1. Climate change is already harming people’s health.
2. More action is needed to protect our health.
3. Climate solutions are ‘win-win-win’ for our health, the environment, and the economy.

The latest IPCC report contains 3600+ pages of overwhelming scientific evidence that the climate crisis is affecting every aspect of our lives.
At @healthy_climate we've tried to summarise in 20 pages what this means for our physical and mental health.

🚨Today we’re launching a new report – “Climate Change is a Public Health Emergency”.
It looks at the barriers and the things trusts can do, and are doing, to tackle climate change.

The CO2 of the internet, digital systems & hardware is 3.7% of global footprint & growing fast. Already same as airline industry. That’s why on Monday @Ecosia will be default search engine @uclh. Plants a tree for every 45 searches & is carbon negative. Who else will follow?

I absolutely LOVE how @UniOfSurrey encourages staff to participate in their staff survey this year! The University will be planting a tree for each response. What a great idea and certainly way better than some small goodies!
How about this for increasing staff survey responses @WeAreNorthMid ?

Anaesthetic gases are greenhouse gases.
Here's a great article explaining how anaesthetists can make a big impact on the NHS carbon footprint by moving from gases to TIVA

📱Weekend read.
"As an anaesthetist I have become increasingly aware of the impact anaesthetic clinical practice has on climate change."
