Ok. Hi, welcome everyone. Hopefully you can hear and see me. Ok. Um Do let me know if, if you're struggling to hear me, but I'll take it if you can if that's the case. So, um yeah, welcome everyone to this session this afternoon where we're going to hear from um allied health special perspective, both from an educational perspective and from clinical practice. Um Unfortunately, two of the scheduled sessions this afternoon, um Emad our your house session on reflections and teaching the sustainable healthcare module. Um and Leonard Joseph sessions on supporting clinical practice at Kenyatta National Hospital won't be going ahead, but we do have two really extremely interesting sessions for you that give us the perspective as you said from, from both education and clinical practice. So I'll just briefly introduce myself um and my co facilitator for this session. Um So my name is Catherine Richards. I work for the Center for Su Health Care as a sustainability and quality improvement lead. Um My clinical background is an O as an occupational therapist. Um And then I've worked um over the sort of the past 56 years and quality improvement in the NHS and then for in sustainability is on the call, he's also coating this session. Um She'll be with us very shortly. I know she's just um just in the car at the moment, but we'll be, we'll be back with this soon. So, are you there so quick? Hello? Yes, I am. Yes. Hello everyone. My name is uh we r I'm currently course lead for the PSE physio course at the University of Brighton. Um and my involvement with sustainability in the form of education and on a current research project along with uh Heather. Um So thank you all for coming and I'm sure it's gonna be a very interesting and interactive session. Great. Thank you, Dina. So great. So we're gonna hear from both presentations and then we'll have time for some questions because we've got, we've got two presentations. We'll have plenty of time for questions after um after the presentation. So do add your questions in the chat as we go and we'll come to them um as they come up for you and then we'll, we'll have some time at the end. But firstly, it's my pleasure to introduce two educators from King's College London. So Kay Basin, a specialist respiratory physiotherapist and lecture at Kings and Doctor Laura Johnson, who is head of academic teaching, the Department of Physiotherapy and a senior fellow of Higher Education Academy at Kings as well. So, um welcome both and I will hand over to you to for your presentation. Thank you. Thank you so much, Cath. Can you, can anyone hear me? Ok. And can you see a Super? So um Lorna and I are delighted to talk to you about two different projects, um A uni professional physiotherapy project and an interprofessional education for sustainable healthcare projects. The reason why we're talking together is because we have reflected on both of these projects and I think there are some key common themes that we wanted to talk to you about. Great. So just um to start with um hopefully over the course of the sessions that you've, that everybody's been to today. Uh We're under um perhaps no um illusion that sustainable health care is an imperative that all healthcare workers are empowered with knowledge and skills to be able to do something about the enormous impact that healthcare has on the environment. And so because of that, it's also very clear from literature um that uh that UK preregistration healthcare learners should also have the knowledge and skills and should be able to attain some of those knowledge and skills during their preregistration uh programs um to be able to play their part in minimizing the negative impact on the environment of health care. And to be able to start to put some of putting some of those uh bits into practice if uh potentially uh during practice placements during their uh preregistration programs and to be able to learn about it and talk about it together with other learners. So at Kings, we have two preregistration physiotherapy curricula and law is going to talk about the physiotherapy project. But this just to give you some context um both A BSE uh honors and a preregistration masters. Um And in terms of the project that I'm leading, um the real basis of this is that um a loss of the existing frameworks for sustainable healthcare education, kind of very much should have focused perhaps on um uni professions. So focusing um well within allied health professions perhaps more broadly. Um But there's, there's perhaps not the detail about how people can learn together on preregistration um programs. However, we know that in practice, we learn and we work together in multiprofessional teams. So it would make sense therefore to try to embed opportunities within preregistration healthcare learning across different professions. Um And um so this idea from so cape the Center for Professional Education, um which in essence, is about different professions learning with from and about each other um is is to try to sort of embed this more within healthcare programs. And the the essence of the project I'm going to talk to you about is about doing that professionally within sustainable healthcare. I'm going to hand over to Lorna for the last bit of this slide. Thanks Kate and good afternoon. Hello to everybody on the call. Um So just thinking a little bit about the physiotherapy programs, as Kate mentioned we have two preregistration programs at King's um aspects of sustainability were undoubtedly are um you know, embedded within the program. And we developed our programs back in 2021 very much focused on having a sort of spiral curriculum. So, you know, topics have revisited increasing depth throughout the program. So sustainability was already um integrated within the program, sort of particularly with a focus on health promotion and um self care. Um And students very early on in the program were encouraged to adopt a patient centered approach using the ICF to guide that um as a framework to guide that thinking. Um considering environmental factors that may impact people's um health status, um you know, an example of considering health, environmental factors that may impact in health um might be um discussing the impact of global warming and its link to diseases like CO PD. But I think on reflection, um we started the uni professional project um just over a year ago. Um I think a lot of the sustainable health care that was sort of threaded throughout the programs was implicit rather than explicit. And this project has given us a fantastic opportunity to make this topic this really crucial topic more explicit to our learners. So if we could move on to the next slide, I think, OK. Have you got control? Yes. Can you see that's OK. Yes, I got fantastic. Um So this project was funded by um an educational project. Scheme at King was looking at sustainable health care across all across the whole university. And we were very fortunate to receive some funding which was to think about embedding approaches to sustainable healthcare in the physiotherapy programs. Um We had three aims and it was quite a lofty project looking back on it now. Um We wanted to end um embed identify sort of real world scenarios that focused on the sustainability theme that were incredibly relevant to physiotherapy to create learning resources to be used in the classroom, in seminars and lectures. We really wanted those to be incredibly authentic. So we thought the best way of doing that is to actually go and sort of draw some examples from real real world scenarios. Um So that was the first aim. The second was to increase both our own knowledge as academic faculty and our students knowledge and understanding about sustainable health care. Um And as part of the project, we were incredibly fortunate to get some funding to have some um training from SQ I so cat who's training this session has been somebody who has been incredibly supportive to us. Um And then the sort of 2nd 3rd aim was to croce teaching resources that were going to be situated within both programs using the spiral approach that I already met red um mentioned. So um I'm going to sort of this slide encapsulates the whole project because we were expecting to talk in slightly less time. Um So far, what we've done is we in, um this is a co produced project. We um recruited four student partners from different um levels and um both programs um who um were going to complete. Um.
