Many GP practices are keen to become more sustainable in their clinical and non-clinical practice, but lack the time or headspace to achieve this. Meanwhile, improvement of the medical school curriculum to include education on the most significant health threat of the century, is urgently needed. A project in Sheffield aims to address both these issues.

Greener Practice South Yorkshire’s local meeting on Thur 5th May will focus on Sheffield Medical School’s Student Selected Component 4th year project, in which students spend a 6 week placement supporting practices to complete actions in the Green Impact for Health (GIfH) Toolkit. The project is now running very successfully, and there has been interest in replicating this work in other medical schools. Dr Honey Smith will deliver a short presentation describing the project, along with medical students who have completed the project. There will then be an opportunity for Q and A.

Greener Practice meetings involve a Thinking Time question which will give people the opportunity to consider the question: How might the scope, reach (including to other areas) and effectiveness of medical student delivery of the GIfH toolkit be further improved, both as a learning activity for the students, and as a means of delivering carbon reduction and sustainability actions to practices?

You are welcome to attend just for the presentation, and to stay on for the Thinking Time question and discussion if you wish. There may be a small amount of local South Yorkshire business at the end of the meeting.

The session will be recorded, and posted on the website.
