Planetary health and sustainable healthcare in medical education standards and outcomes
This position paper outlines the key concepts related to this workstream; other activity relating to sustainability, climate change and net zero; and our position on the future of the planetary health and ESH work, including how we intend to build these concepts into our review of standards and outcomes.
We recognise that we can make an important contribution to creating a more sustainable healthcare system in the UK. We are therefore committed to working with stakeholders across medical education to identify where teaching can include education for sustainable healthcare (ESH) and planetary health concepts.
