Greener Primary Care Services Webinar

There is growing recognition of the risk that climate change poses to healthcare, in the UK and globally. In this webinar we aim to facilitate an engaging discussion on the challenges and opportunities of creating greener primary care services by looking at:

• relevant policies

• tools and resources teams can access, and

• examples of local initiatives.

In this webinar you will learn about the national perspective on creating a sustainable health service, as well as practical ways of implementing green initiatives in primary care.

We have a very exciting line up of speakers:

• Katie McCafferty, Senior Policy Manager, General Practice Policy and Strategy, the Scottish Government

• Munro Stewart, RCGP Scotland Climate & Sustainability Lead, GP in NHS Tayside

• Peter Cawston, GP, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde

• Katie Walter, GP, NHS Highland

• Marc Beswick, National Lead, Near Me Networks, TEC Scotland.

This webinar series is organised by Healthcare Improvement Scotland in collaboration with the Scottish Government, the Royal College of General Practitioners and NHS Education for Scotland.

The aims of this webinar series are to:

• reflect on what we have learnt from this experience,

• explore what changes we have made and what we need as we move forward, and

• connect and learn from each other.
