S5E8: The Climate and Health Emergency
Welcome back to another episode of The Case.Report! This month we’re shaking things up a little as NCHDs Callum and Johnny work hard stabilising not just one patient, but an entire planetary ecosystem. Planet Earth has come to TCR resus in a critical condition and there’s no time to waste. With toxic levels of air pollution, rising global temperatures, escalating extreme weather events, threats to global food and water security, and a rapidly closing window to act - this is a health emergency beyond any doubt. Our adult in the room this month is the outstanding Professor Hugh Montgomery - Professor of Intensive Care Medicine at University College London, Consultant in Cardiology and General Internal Medicine, Co-chair of The Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change.

It's hard to believe we're almost a month into the New Year. But it's not too late for resolutions if the gym pass has only been used once - and this episode might encourage you to make one focused on your own wellbeing that doesn't involve weights (and will actually teach you how to do it)!
Conor sat down with Dr Una Kennedy and Dr Pádraic Dunne to discuss the NEMTP EMWellbeing Project - which is now live for sign ups from all CSTEM / ASTEMs (with plans to make it available to all trainees in future). There will be a webinar next Wednesday the 5th of Feb, and we got a sneak preview of what the programme entails, and why there's something for each and every trainee within it.
Right then, let's get to it!
