Planetary Health repository
Dear all,
We recently had a “soft launch” of our planetary health repository at WONCA Europe Brussels 2023. We would now love to further share our work so that it can continue to evolve and develop as a resource.
Here is the link to the repository:
Our planetary health repository has been developed by members of the European Young Family Doctor’s Movement. The aim of the repository is to organise the existing resources relating to planetary health that are pertinent to general practice (and indeed any other interested parties). We hope that this repository will provide you with the resources to develop and advocate for planetary health in your own practice.
We would like to keep developing this repository based on feedback. To this end we have also developed a survey to record feedback, a link to the survey is here.
We would be very grateful if you would be happy to disseminate both our repository and the survey within your networks so that it can continue to develop and grow.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Oisín
Planetary Health SIG
