Health professionals catch The Wave

‘Climate change is the biggest global health threat of the 21st century’ (The Lancet 2009).

Join us on Saturday December 5th for the UK’s biggest ever demonstration in support of action on climate change – The Wave.  A coalition of health organisations will be holding a feeder event that aims to bring together a growing movement of health professionals concerned about climate change.  After some inspiring talks from a range of speakers we will join the main march to Parliament, demanding a healthier, low carbon society for ourselves and future generations.

Venue: Royal College of Nursing, 20 Cavendish Square, London W1G 0RN
Just behind John Lewis Oxford Street and close to Oxford Circus and Bond Street Tube stations.

  Health professionals and students (wearing blue scrubs supplied by OMCC, the Organic Medical Clothing Company) will assemble around a hospital bed, containing a sick world. With the message ‘what’s good for the climate is good for your health’, they will demand a switch to a healthier, low carbon society to benefit future generations throughout the world.
• Followed by short walk to Grosvenor Square to join main march.
