Achieving a truly net zero healthcare service is an ambition that requires innovation, dedication and collaboration. The conversation has to include everyone - from frontline clinicians to hospital directors - and the potential to learn from each other is unlimited.

In the Directors' Cut talk series, Eco Medics invites directors from various organisations to share their progress towards Net Zero and to raise the challenges they face, and invites healthcare professionals to be a part of the conversation - to hear what is being implemented from the top-down, and to raise their own ideas and thoughts directly with those in charge.

Each series will include 2 - 3 short presentations with questions, followed by a short panel discussion to which everyone is invited to take part. We can't wait to see where this talk series leads and we are excited for you to be a part of the conversation!
