About

Health professionals are going to be at the forefront of managing the consequences of the ongoing climate emergency. This project, funded by an SMP Fast Grant and conducted by an interdisciplinary team, examines the established evidence base, policy regulation and published curricula on the Health Impacts of Climate Change in health professional education (HPE). In particular, we are interested in what content is indicated for inclusion by the current scientific evidence, what content is included in HPE, how this is regulated by accreditation and registration governance bodies and how educators are approaching this challenge
