Episode notes

The world's combined healthcare systems contribute 5% of emitted greenhouse gases.

If global healthcare was a country, it would rank as the world's fifth biggest greenhouse gas emitter.

In this episode, Tamsin and Swathi hear what is being done at Aberdeen and elsewhere to improve this situation - with Dr Laura McCrimmon, a junior doctor and expert on sustainable healthcare.
