All right, looks like we are live here in the education breakout session. Uh My name is Emma. I'm the research lead of the Planetary Health Report Card. Um So I'm here representing organization today and I'm Rebecca. Um I'm a GP by background um based in the UK, but I also am a climate change education fellow. Um So do work um at Cambridge University integrating climate change into the curriculum. So, thanks very much for joining us. Um So you're probably aware that we've got a series of short presentations now. So there'll be four presentations lasting about seven minutes each and we just ask you to keep your cameras off for those if possible and then save your Q and A s until the end and, and we'll have a group discussion. Um You can either the point is easier if you put them in the chat or if you don't want to put in the chat, you can just um raise your hand um or we can hopefully answer them together at the end of the talk. So perfect. So I think we got Alison Alison up first, so I'll let her introduce herself. Um And and then um and that will last about seven minutes, then we'll move on to the next one. Lovely thanks, Alison. Thanks very much, Rebecca and Emma. My name is Alison Taylor. Um I am a senior lecturer here at the University of Brighton and I'm presenting with a colleague uh from Clinical Skills Limited Madeleine who can't be with us today and she's gonna uh provide a short message uh in a second. And so this presentation is about designing an educational resource, a sustainable nursing practice. And this is in collaboration with Madeleine's Organization, Clinical skills.net who produce a whole suite 500 odd illustrated evidence based practical guides for nursing and healthcare education and practice. And what we wanted to do was produce a new guide on sustainability, which we could use a bright to teach our students and other many other subscribing universities and NHS Trusts could also use to help embed sustainable practice within healthcare education. So I've just got to switch to another type of slide for a second. Hi, I'm Maddie, a registered nurse and clinical commissioning editor at Clinical skills.net. I hope you've been enjoying the conference so far. I'm really sorry I can't be with you live today, but I didn't want to miss the chance to be part of this inspiring event. So I've recorded this message in advance at Clinical skills.net. We've been supporting healthcare education since 2004. Our platform is used by nearly 300 organizations including NHS Trusts UK, Universities, Hospices and care homes to help support training and education and clinical skills. Every day, thousands of healthcare professionals visit our site to access content, take assessments or record CPD records. All of our guides are evidence based. They are written by clinicians and academics who are subject matter experts and each one goes through a rigorous publication process. The University of Brighton has been a longstanding client organization for over 10 years during which we have had the privilege to collaborate with six members of the academic staff. One thing that makes our resource unique is that all of our guides are fully illustrated. Most of them in a step by step format with short focused text captions. These illustrations aren't just decorative. They play a crucial role in how we help people learn. There is a well known concept in education known as the picture superiority effect. It tells us that people tend to remember information more clearly and for longer when it's shown in an image rather than just described in text. In fact, the visual side of our content often sparks more critical thinking during development than the text itself. We have to be very intentional particularly when it comes to subjects that intersect with sustainability, use glove use as an example. Traditional materials might say use gloves as per local policy and leave it at that. But when we're a creative illustration, we have to decide should gloves be shown at all, the visual choice can significantly influence how the information is interpreted and applied. In practice. These decisions have led to some great thought provoking conversations between Alice and and I, as well as other authors, they've highlighted the considerable room for interpretation within current guidance and how this can lead to variation in local policy and practice. Because our work sits at the intersection of evidence based medicine and real world application. Sustainability can be a tricky area to represent clearly and responsibly, especially when the evidence base isn't always there yet. That's why when Alison suggested developing a new guide focused specifically on delivering sustainable healthcare, we were excited to get involved. It felt like the right step forward to create something that helps raise awareness and supports more sustainable decision making in the future. I'll now hand you back to Alison to provide further details on the guide. So hopefully you could hear um Maddie's voice there. It's hard to tell. Um And she was describing how we kind of came to um think about a sustainability guide. And there's an image from another sustainability guide on the slide there. And this was really sparked by me writing another guide on medicines administration in Children. And I was arguing that we should start losing some of the images of gloves because many local policies are now updated to say that they don't, they're not needed anymore. Um And so we have this kind of very collegiate collaborative discussion. And Maddie raised the point that she's just made about existing policies and ambiguous guidance where the company like to go with National Guidance wherever possible, which makes total sense. Um And obviously all their, their, their guides are evidence driven, but they have to follow the evidence and they can't initiate those changes until the evidence is there. So, um this, you know, sparked the idea for, OK, let's think about a new sustainability guide where people can start thinking about their own practice. So we developed a new guide following Clinical skills.net established publication process with which involves an evidence review. And that's where Maddie comes in as clinical commissioning editor, she's a nurse, as she said. Um and she's been really helpful in identifying that evidence base and when guides come up for renewal and review, she will identify appropriate new evidence or updated evidence or highlight evidence that might be out of date. Um And there's a double blind review process as well. Um And so you can see a couple of pages from the guide which was literally produced and published yesterday on the Clinical Skills website. So any subscribing organizations, please to have a look. Um And this guide is very broad, it emphasizes positive action by clinicians. Um just to start thinking about what they can do in their practice. And obviously, it harnesses a lot of the type of things that we've already heard about today and we've heard in previous conferences, um action around what you can do as a clinician to help reduce carbon emissions. And lots of these projects are very much small scale grassroots project many using so Qi as the qi framework and lots of nurse led, I'm a nurse. We background, this is for nursing and healthcare education. So that felt, you know, very, very comfortable. So really this is the start of something bigger. Hopefully we wanting to, to grow this idea further the company that we work with and that we subscribe to and that lots of bright and academics have written for do acknowledge sustainability is vital for nursing practice and education. And hopefully through using these really important image illustration based guides of different practice aspects, people can think about being empowered to act for themselves and hopefully it will act as a springboard for more because as we've already heard this hugely growing topic of sustain health care and also with the existing guides that they have um you know, applying a sustainability lens to those when they're due for renewal. Um And this partnership working has really cemented the commitment to help to strengthen the evidence base for net zero health systems and support the goals that we've all been learning about today in the NHS and beyond. Amazing. Thank you. Thanks Anderson. Um Lovely. So if anyone's got any questions, as I said, pop them in the chat. Um And, and we can um answer well, hopefully Alison can answer them at the end. Um So next up, we got Ala Kia. OK, hopefully you guys can see my slides. So, hi, my name is Ella. I'm a final year medical student at Cardiff University. And basically for my medical education project, I wanted to look into the medical schools, faculties, understanding of climate related health impacts and how adequate this topic is total. So uh just to make introduction, so the literature suggests that climate change represents the most significant threat to human health poses a substantial risk to international security. The research has showed that it adversely affects cardiovascular respiratory health and increases mortality, mortality rate due mortality rates due to thermal stress, extreme weather events.
