AASHE Campus Sustainability Hub

This course offers an overview of the complex relationship between human health, climate change and the wider environmental crisis. We describe how the health system is both vulnerable to and contributing to these issues, examining the specific contribution of anaesthetics to carbon emissions and other environmental impacts. The course then explores (using real world case studies) how to develop a more sustainable approach to the practice of anaesthetics and the operating department, and adapt to climate change, whilst maintaining or improving quality of care.
