About the speaker
Kat Bristol
BMBCh MSc Sports Medicine, GP Partner and Gloucestershire ICB Primary Care Environmental Sustainability Lead
Like many of you I have spent the last decade listening to the reports from the climate scientists with increasing alarm, hoping to see strong collective climate action from our leaders. Greener Practice Gloucestershire was formed in the early 2020s from primary care healthcare professionals to lobby for funding to accelerate climate action from the grassroots. I am now working with the ICB as their primary care environmental sustainability lead to develop bite sized collective actions we can take to decrease our carbon footprint at work and contribute to the ICB's next five year Green Plan.
