Educate members on the links between climate and health

Educating health professionals on the links between climate and health is critical to enabling health professionals to deliver change, influence decisions, and communicate effectively with patients and colleagues.

HOW TO … Educate Members on the Links between Climate and Health

Healthcare professionals of all levels need to be educated and informed of the health risks associated with climate change and the measures needed to be implemented across the health system. UKHACC membership organisations play a critical role in delivering these aims by educating the health professionals they interact with on the links between climate and health, and supporting them to develop knowledge and skills to take action for change within their sphere of influence. This guide outlines how organisations can develop and deliver education and training initiatives for this purpose.
