Free one-hour climate change 'lunch and learn' sessions
We’re joining Humber, Coast and Vale Health and Care Partnership in hosting a series of hour-long educational sessions to address the challenges we face with climate change and the impact this will have on our healthcare system, as well as the populations we serve.
We'd encourage you to join us live so that you can delve into the challenges we face and get involved in the session. The chairs will invite questions at the end of each session.
