NHS Ocean Virtual Launch

Join the NHS Ocean Launch event, jointly delivered by NHS Ocean and the College of Medicine and Health on Thursday, September 16th from 8:00AM to 10:30AM.

Learn about the impacts of the healthcare sector on both the ocean and human health. Hear first-hand accounts from individuals and communities involved in positive action to help conserve and enjoy the health and wellbeing benefits and sustainable interactions with the Ocean. Engage with others in NHS Ocean to enable positive and sustainable change.

Although tickets have now sold out, we will be live streaming the event on YouTube here. This means that you can watch the launch event, minus the short breakout sessions (14:40 - 15:05). If you would still like to participate in the breakout sessions, please sign up to the waiting list in case places become available

Overview:

NHS Ocean aims to conserve and protect coastal and marine ecosystems through minimising harm resulting from the procurement and delivery of healthcare whilst increasing awareness of the benefits to human health and wellbeing from healthy seas, coasts, and waterways.

We will do this through advancing the education of healthcare and public health professionals and the public on the interdependence between human and oceanic health and collaboration, encouraging engagement with research institutions, environmental organizations, and communities.
