Sustainable Kidney Care
Clinical impacts and solutions | Sustainable business and solutions
This course offers an overview of the complex relationship between human health, climate change and the wider environmental crisis with a focus on kidney disease and kidney care. We describe the ways in which the health system itself, (and kidney care in particular) are both vulnerable to and contributing to these issues, then explore (using real world case studies) how high quality kidney care could be delivered more sustainably and what the wider benefits might be.

Description
We also consider the leadership role healthcare staff (at any level) can play in providing healthcare for all within planetary boundaries. As healthcare professionals we cannot stand on the sidelines; we have a duty of care to our patients, communities, and the natural world which is our life support system. There are many important ways to make a difference and this course is a starting point.
