This activity equips health profession students with the knowledge and skills to address sustainability, planetary health, and decarbonisation within healthcare practice. Through workshops, independent study, and engagement in a project, students will explore the environmental impacts of healthcare systems and practical ways to reduce carbon emissions in professional contexts.
