Royal College of Physicians launches Green Physician Toolkit

NCL Wide

The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) has published a Green Physician toolkit that brings together evidence on health and climate change. 

The toolkit suggests a range of actions that physicians can take in their day-to-day practice to help mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change, including:

  • reducing unnecessary prescribing
  • reducing blood testing where clinically appropriate
  • advocating for sustainable practices such as including sustainability as a standing item in all clinical governance meetings
  • limiting the environmental impact of travel

Any feedback and case studies can be accessed on the RCP website.
