Nursing staff are on the frontline of the climate crisis. They see its impact first-hand – from diseases linked to air pollution to the damaging effects of extreme heat.
The NHS in Scotland has committed becoming a net-zero health service by 2040 but there is a long way to go. As the largest part of the health and care workforce, it is crucial that nursing becomes more sustainable.
This exhibition 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. Highlights include redesigned and repurposed medical gowns from PPE Refashioned, AHRC-funded research led by Prof Katherine Townsend, Nottingham Trent University.
