Medicines and the environment: Join us for a free Climate Week event

Have you ever had to clear out bags of unused medicines for someone?

Do you know what happens to these? 

Medicines contribute 25% of the NHS carbon footprint. Every DAY in Scotland we burn the equivalent weight of a small car, worth more than £100,000 a day in NHSGGC alone. 

Join a panel of local clinical leaders to hear more about the scale of the problem, public insights, and what we can all do to tackle overprescribing and waste.

The free hour-long event will take place on Thursday 14th May at 7pm and will be held on Microsoft Teams. To register your interest please click on the link below:
