Description
The UK has just seen it’s hottest July on record, including the highest ever temperature recorded. With climate change in the forefront of our minds, it’s timely that we have two editorials on the sustainability and health.
Michael Depledge, emeritus professor of environment and human health at University of Exeter Medical School, and author of the editorial Time and Tide, explains how closely the oceans and seas are linked to human health.
Also Gillian Leng, deputy chief executive and director of health and social care at NICE has ideas about what the NHS can do to become more sustainable, and how we could evaluate the impact treatments have on the planet.
