“No reasonable person could convincingly argue that sexual predators are less of a risk to patient safety & trust in the profession than climate protesters, yet this is the inexplicable reality the GMC’s failing regulatory processes have left us in.” My latest piece 👇 blogs.bmj.com/medical-ethi...

Great to see our researchers publish on the experience of planetary health leadership So topical and so important for all health leaders everywhere 👇👇

“From the perspectives of leaders in our study, it is clear that activism’s role is seen as critical in the wider ecosystem of the leadership required, even by those who do not identify as activists themselves.” Preach 🙌 Activism is an essential part of leadership! 👇👇👇👇

Join us on Saturday 26th April at our Mothers* Rebellion global action for climate justice I’ll be in Leeds with my little boy but a full list of where global actions are taking place is here: mothersrebellion.com/upcoming-eve... @mothersrebellionuk.bsky.social @mothersrebellion.bsky.social

This is an absolutely shambolic decision by @gmcuk.bsky.social Suspending a doctor that cares so deeply about protecting public health that he is willing to risk his personal & professional freedoms helps no one and harms everyone. 👉 thedoctor.bma.org.uk/articles/hea...

Come and study with us @shucfl.bsky.social for support with publication in BMJ Leader 👇

3. Read and share this compelling piece which powerful explains why the GMC @gmcuk.bsky.social would be wrong to suspend Dr Hart from the medical register blogs.bmj.com/medical-ethi...

📣 Dr Patrick Hart, working GP has been jailed for 12 months for sounding the alarm on the health threats of the climate emergency Check out these quick actions to support him 👇👇👇👇👇 🌍

🔥🔥 A compelling analysis by @ramminay.bsky.social on why the GMC must stop suspending climate protesters from the medical register Will GP Patrick Hart be the 3rd to be suspended after he was jailed last week? If there’s one thing you read today- make it this 👇 blogs.bmj.com/medical-ethi...

📣 Hot off the press My latest publication after working GP Dr Patrick Hart was jailed for protesting climate inaction As a result, he will likely be suspended by @gmcuk.bsky.social He deserves better. We must demand better. blogs.bmj.com/medical-ethi...

It’s been 5 days since practicing GP Patrick Hart was jailed for protesting climate inaction. Meanwhile California has burned down in flames. Where are all the health leaders & health institutions statements on this? Ongoing silence = complicity in climate collapse blogs.bmj.com/bmjleader/20...

Want to help Dr Hart? Sign this petition to stop doctors being suspended or struck off from medical register for engaging in climate protest to whistleblow the health harms of climate devastation www.change.org/p/help-medic...

Each fraction of a degree of warming brings devastating health consequences - from life-threatening extreme weather events to the transmission of infectious diseases in previously unaffected areas. Action today is critical to secure a thriving future. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Today Dr Patrick Hart, practicing GP, was imprisoned for 12 months for engaging in legitimate climate protest. They think imprisoning climate protestors will make us back down. But the fire in our hearts and our bellies just grows stronger for justice. 🔥 🌍 💚

The first practicing doctor to be imprisoned for climate protest. He’ll then likely face suspension or worse from @gmcuk.bsky.social who remain intransigent in their determination to suspend doctors for peaceful protests. Who on Earth does this serve? It helps no one and harms everyone.

1/ Does climate activism work? The short answer is yes, and there's been lots of research this year showing how Here are some highlights 🧵

When there’s a disaster, the last “man” standing should be the health system. Ready to help people. Instead, 25% of it will be underwater. Flooded A&Es have already been turning people away. Ambulances have been washed away. Health leaders have been asleep at the wheel on climate resilience.

🌊 Flood risk to healthcare facilities is rising 🌊 Today, 25.5% of healthcare facilities in England are at risk of flooding. By 2040-60, this is projected to increase to 31.5%. Climate resilience in health systems is urgent. 🔗 www.gov.uk/government/p... #ClimateChange #FloodRisk #PublicHealth

‼️BREAKING Doctors protest outside @gmcuk.bsky.social just hours before Dr Sarah Benn begins her appeal following her suspension from the medical register after engaging in peaceful climate action The GMC must reconsider its role in the climate crisis, as advocates for public health #IAmSarahBenn

💯 The GMC has a legal & ethical responsibility to protect patient health. But instead of demonstrating ethical leadership by advocating for climate action in the name of public health, they suspend the doctors who do.

🚨BREAKING Health professionals gather within the injuncted area at Kingsbury oil terminal in solidarity with Dr Sarah Benn. Benn was suspended from the medical register after a conviction following engaging in peaceful protest. She simply held a sign that read “no new oil”. /1

Remember this? 📣 Dr Benn’s @gmcuk appeal is THIS WEEK! Will @gmcuk realise their error of judgement in suspending doctors who whistleblow the health implications of climate inaction & delay? Or are they deeply committed to going down on the wrong side of history? 👉 www.bmj.com/content/387/...

Some lovely submissions already- BUT only 2 days left until the deadline! For all health students studying in Sheffield - a reflective essay competition on: “Planetary health and patient health: what climate action means to me” 🌍 Prize of £200 and free lunch with Greener Practice Directors

The social license for fossil fuels is ending.

I have read A LOT of books on navigating the emotional impacts of the climate crisis This is one I’ve found most helpful to date. Not only is it beautifully written, I felt “seen” reading it AND it provided me with a distillations of approaches to reframing my emotions in this work. A must read

The issue is restoring doctors' trust in the GMC, not the public's trust in doctors protesting against climate change and its many health linkages. "If a [protest] law—pushed by powerful fossil fuel interests—is widely seen as unjust, breaking it might not undermine trust."

📣 A call for papers. A call to action. At BMJ Leader we are welcoming submissions for a topic collection om planetary health leadership. Find out more here: bmjleader.bmj.com/pages/topic-... #climate #planetaryhealth #COP29 @bmj.com
