Green Physician Toolkit Launch

The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) has published a Green Physician Toolkit that brings together evidence on health and climate change and suggests actions that physicians can take in their day-to-day practice.

The Green physician toolkit suggests a range of actions that physicians can take in their day-to-day practice to help mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change, including:

• reducing unnecessary prescribing

• reducing blood testing where clinically appropriate

• advocating for sustainable practices such as including sustainability as a standing item in all clinical governance meetings

• limiting the environmental impact of travel
