SUMMARY:The climate crisis is a health crisis ─ what can health and social care workers in Yorkshire do?
DESCRIPTION:All over the world\, climate change is undermining the health of entire communities. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has forecast that if serious action is not taken now to reduce emissions\, we may see as many as 250\,000 additional climate-related deaths each year between 2030-2050 alone. In Yorkshire\, studies have shown that climate change has already increased the likelihood of regular\, more severe flooding. \nThis is a crisis that concerns all of society\, but it does not impact us all equally. As we have seen\, communities and nations across the globe already feeling the impacts of climate change also tend to be the ones least responsible for it. It is in these communities that we are already seeing excess deaths due to extreme weather events\, increasing rates of things such as cardiovascular disease and respiratory conditions resulting from environmental injustices such as air pollution. \nJoin Medact Yorkshire for this webinar as we explore how those working in health and social care in Yorkshire can take action for a healthier\, greener and more just society\, one that prioritises the health and wellbeing of people and planet! \nWe’re really lucky to have an amazing lineup of incredible speakers joining us! \n\nMatthew Sawyer – GP and Sustainability Consultant\nAlexis Percival – Environmental and Sustainability Manager\, Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust\nGroup for Action on Leeds Bradford Airport (GALBA)\nAngela Harley – Medact Yorkshire\nJess Zollman-Thomas – Medact Sheffield\nMia Thomas – Medact Leeds\nChristian Vassie – City of York councillor and ‘Climate Champion’\n\n[Registration has now closed]

SUMMARY:Prevent duty in NHS ─ June planning meeting
DESCRIPTION:We are having our regular meeting to discuss the different ways that the health community can take collective action on issues related to the Prevent counter-extremism policy in healthcare\, and its connections with broader securitisation and racism in the NHS. \nThe meeting will take place online on Wednesday 9th June from 6 – 7:30pm. \nYou must register for this meeting below\, and details of how you can join the Zoom meeting will be sent to you. \nIf you are unable to attend but are interested in being involved in future meetings or actions\, you can sign up to our Securitisation of Health mailing list or email reemabuhayyeh@medact.org \nOur main priority is that as much as possible\, health workers\, patients and others impacted by Prevent who may attend this event feel safe both professionally and personally participating in Medact’s activities. As such\, we ask that if you work in Prevent\, the police or the Home Office\, that you do not register to attend this event. \nFor any queries or for further discussion on this\, please e-mail the address above. \n[Registration has now closed]
