Healthcare professionals and organisations across the UK are taking action on the climate crisis by hosting their own screenings of the National Emergency Briefing (NEB) film.
More than 20 events have already been organised and further screenings are being added every week.
The film – the People’s Emergency Briefing – is a public information initiative to ensure the UK is fully briefed on the climate and nature crisis.
It presents the national implications of climate and nature breakdown – along with credible, positive responses – and has been designed for screening in communities across the UK.
Confirmed screenings
A list of the confirmed screenings is available on the DAUK website.
Dr Matt Lee, Doctors’ Association UK (DAUK) sustainability lead, welcomed the strong response from healthcare professionals.
Dr Lee said: “It has been incredibly encouraging to see healthcare professionals and organisations taking the initiative to host screenings and create spaces for discussion.
“We hope these events will help to build understanding, inspire action, and strengthen leadership on climate change and sustainability throughout the healthcare profession.”
National Emergency Briefing
DAUK recently held its own screening of the National Emergency Briefing film for members and healthcare professionals interested in organising their own screenings. Another screening is being planned for later this year.
DAUK, in collaboration with Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW), and the Greener Healthcare and Sustainability Project, continues to encourage screenings of the film in healthcare settings, particularly during Great British Green Week, which starts on 8 June.
