Thank you. Great. And I think we've got everybody, I don't think we've missed anybody. And so this um collaboration, as we've said is with the four organizations. Unfortunately, we weren't able to have somebody from the Planet Health Report Card group join us first thing this morning. Um just cause they're an international group and with time zone differences, but we will have a representative Emma Wilcox later today who will be providing an overview of the plant health Report Card initiative um later on in the program. So I can see people are joining in and I know sometimes in the middle site, it takes a little bit of time to get used to the site. So we're just giving people some time to, to, to join us today. We're now in the main stage. And so the main um keynote events as, as well as the expert panel discussion will be in this main stage. And during the time where there's a breakout session. If you see on the left hand side, there's a menu and you can scroll up and down that menu. The first icon is the breakout sessions. So at the point in time where you want to join a session, you can choose whichever session you like or hop between sessions if you like and you just simply click on to that session and join in um to the, the themed session that you would like to attend. And then if you scroll down, um you'll find that there's a poster link, so there's a virtual poster hall. So you can look at that at your leisure throughout today, the posters will still be available after the event. So if you don't have time today to look at all the posters, don't worry, you can have a look at them at a later time and you can also see the schedule. You do have to scroll down to find the schedule and that gives out all the timings that are on UK time. I think BST is the time zone we're in now, isn't it British summertime? So if you're coming to us cause we've got people from 61 countries uh registered today. So if you're in another part of the world, if you figure out how your time zone works with the time in the UK. That's the schedule that we will keep to. And if you're also looking for the abstracts, you can find them in the schedule for all of the oral presentation abstracts that are in the um in the program. So I'll now ask for all the planning group members to turn their camera off and we will begin with um welcome uh addresses from representatives of University of Brighton and the Bryton Sussex Medical School beginning with Professor Andrew Hobson, who is the Associate Dean in the School of Education Sport and Health Sciences at the University of Brighton. So, thank you. Thank you very much, Heather. Can you hear me? OK, we can hear you and see you. Thank you. Fantastic. So thank you Heather for the invitation to uh me to offer a, a warm welcome to this important event, which is very apt because as an Englishman, I am obliged to begin by talking about the weather uh which is glorious here on the south coast of England. And uh I hope he or soon will be wherever you are located around the world. So a literally very warm welcome um from me on behalf of the School of Education, Sport and Health Sciences at the University of Brighton, for whom I serve as the Associate Dean for Research and Knowledge Exchange. Um Heather has just reminded us what she stands for, so I won't repeat that but will emphasize that she reflects the spirit of collaboration and sharing of knowledge, experiences and practices relating to sustainability in health care. And the share conference focuses on the environmental aspects of sustainability as, as you're probably aware. But the event also recognizes the connections to an importance of financial affordability and social responsibility um health care er delivery. Um Just a little bit of information about share for those who are relatively new to the event. Share is an annual conference that's now in its fifth year of the current format as a collaboration with the partner organizations that Heather just discussed. Um Before this for five years, the University of Brighton hosted a face to face symposium about sy uh about uh sustainable health care. Er And the first of those symposia took place in 2015 um after several years of informal gatherings during the University's Green Week as it was called when staff and students came together to discuss concerns about the environmental footprint of health care. So share has since grown year on year and uh uniquely engaged as students, researchers, clinical health and estates, colleagues from a wide range of professional roles and we're thrilled to have more than 500 people, 550 people registered for this year's event from 61 countries around the globe, which is phenomenal. Um And this year's theme um as you doubt must be aware is sustainable health care, strengthening the evidence base for Net zero health systems. And the conference provides an opportunity to hear from colleagues undertaking research, quality improvement and education pro projects relating to environmentally sustainable health care and to learn and share knowledge to apply theory, to practice for evidence based net zero health systems. She is an example of the University of Brighton's global challenges, commitment to promote the un sustainable development goals and the School of Education, Sport and Health Sciences at the University of Brighton has an active sustainability special interest group which has the leads, which is made up of staff and students working in partnership to embed the sustainable development goals into health education research and campus activities. We have also completed the nurses climate challenge pledge a health care without harm initiatives where schools declare a commitment to incorporate planetary health into nursing education as a multidisciplinary school. We have applied that commitment across a range of undergraduate and postgraduate health care courses. There is a link to further information about the um post graduate sustainability module in the conference handout um which heather is has added or is adding to the chat. So thank you to all the key expert panel and oral presentation speakers um here today as well as poster authors for contributing to the content um of the conference. Thank you to the organizing team which is made up of representatives from each of the partner organizations. And we would also like to thank everybody who is attending the event today, which we hope will find beneficial for sharing research, quality improvement and education related to strengthening the evidence base of net zero health systems. Enjoy the conference and enjoy sharing. Thank you. Thanks very much, Andrew. And I'll now ask Professor Richard mcmanus, the Dean of the Brightness Sussex Medical School to join us um to continue the welcome address. Thanks Heather and uh welcome uh from me on behalf of B SMS, as we're known, Brighton Sussex Medical School. Uh I'm as you've heard the dean at B SMS uh and sustainability is really a key part of our strategic plan that we've just been developing uh to last us for the next five years. So I'm really happy to be supporting today's event uh along with our other co co hosts, uh our uh partner University uh University of Brighton uh Center of Sustainable Health Care and in collaboration with the Planetary Health Report Card. Um the, the commitment of all of these organizations to work together and facilitate Net zero strategy and also importantly, link in uh to the NHS. And, and many of uh the colleagues that you have been uh just introduced to have got strong links into the NHS shares. As you've heard, continues to draw a diver.
