Doors open at 5pm and the talks/online event starts at 6pm.
Talks will be BSL interpreted.
What to expect:
- Visit our new exhibition, 'You Mean the World: Nursing in a Climate Crisis', which explores the history of air pollution and of recycling and re-use in nursing and shows how talented nursing teams are taking climate action today – from green social prescribing to developing sustainable nursing tools.
- Explore art and design of climate change, including a digital installation by Louise Ward Morris, designs from ‘PPE Refashioned’ (a project to create sustainable gowns for health care staff led by Professor Katherine Townsend, at Nottingham School of Art and Design, Nottingham Trent University) and interactive drop-in arts activities on health and climate change with Lisa Gornick.
- Hear from experts on health and climate change: Professor Rupert Read (co-director of the Climate Majority Project), Richard Smith (UK Health Alliance on Climate Change), Clare Nash (senior nurse leader and sustainability procurement lead) and Rose Gallagher (RCN Professional Lead for Sustainability).
