PrescQIPP have worked with Lighthouse Sustainability to develop a series of webinars to support raising carbon awareness and understanding for healthcare. We will be running a series of 6 ‘learn at lunch’ webinars covering various topics that are included in carbon literacy training with examples relevant to healthcare and medicines optimisation.
Please note: that this is not a certified carbon literacy course and therefore accreditation isn’t available, but we will signpost to further courses where you can obtain carbon literacy certification if you need this. PrescQIPP will provide a certificate of attendance to anyone that attends all 6 of our webinars.
The webinars will be recorded and published on the PrescQIPP website. The 6 webinars are:
