Last week was a week of two conferences, which doesn't often happen!

From the @metoffice.gov.uk to @rcgp.bsky.social for the RCGP 2025 conference

My favourite workshop was the interactive climate and health workshop at #rcgpac25 and I now have more books to add to my evergrowing reading list!

“We wouldn’t accept 30,000 preventable deaths from any other cause. We need to treat clean air with the same seriousness we treat clean water or safe food. It is a basic human right – and a vital investment in our economic future.” Dr Mumtaz Patel, RCP president www.theguardian.com/environment/...
UK air pollution killing more than 500 people a week, doctors say
Royal College of Physicians also says poor air quality costs country more than £500m a week
