A review of the GMC Good Medical Practice is currently ongoing. The GMC standards team are also looking at education standards, outcomes and other levers to better understand how they can pick up on critical issues in sustainability in medical education and training.
The climate and ecological crises present significant threats to human health, with many of these health impacts already being experienced. Our healthcare systems are both vulnerable and culpable and the health community has a role to play in leading the transformational change that is needed to protect our health service and the people it serves.
The GMC GMP review provides an opportunity to ensure sustainability and climate change impacts for health are incorporated by proposing recommendations to the GMP that encourages and delivers sustainable practice in healthcare.
The consultation is open to everyone – it closes on 20 July 2022.
