School of Medicine
The Medical School has developed an inter-varsity group of Scottish medical schools to form a network of sustainable medicine practice, working to develop the network of students and practitioners in the field through a sustainability lens. They held a meeting with the Royal Society of Physicians to address sustainability practices in surgery and a curriculum team has been formed to identify a sustainability lens internally.
This group is being developed to include members who are sitting on local health boards, thus linking out from the Schools to the broader field. The Medical School is also working on completing a Planetary Report Card – a tool for learning which will include an assessment of the curriculum and activities around sustainability with a view to sharing best practices.
