In partnership with colleagues from the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare, we’re delighted to welcome Dr Ayoma Ratnappuli to showcase how HEIs have been innovative in promoting and implementing ways in which healthcare education can be sustainable. This webinar follows a previous Council of Deans of Health workshop which explored the challenges and opportunities of integrating environmental sustainability into healthcare education and the role Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) play in advocating for and implementing sustainable healthcare practices.
The webinar will take place on Tuesday 18 February at 15.00 on Zoom.
