You Mean the World: Nursing in a Climate Crisis Exhibition Launch (BSL)

Join us for the launch of our new exhibition about nursing in a climate crisis. Enjoy free refreshments and a chance to look around the exhibition, alongside arts activities and talks on the history and future of nursing in the climate crisis.

Doors open at 5pm and the talks/online event starts at 6pm.

Talks will be BSL interpreted.

What to expect:

• Visit our new exhibition, 'You Mean the World: Nursing in a Climate Crisis', which explores the history of air pollution and of recycling and re-use in nursing and shows how talented nursing teams are taking climate action today – from green social prescribing to developing sustainable nursing tools.
• Explore art and design of climate change, including a digital installation by Louise Ward Morris, designs from ‘PPE Refashioned’ (a project to create sustainable gowns for health care staff by Nottingham School of Art and Design) and interactive drop-in arts activities on health and climate change with Lisa Gornick.
• Hear from experts on health and climate change: Professor Rupert Read (co-director of the Climate Majority Project), Richard Smith (UK Health Alliance on Climate Change), Clare Nash (senior nurse leader and sustainability procurement lead) and Rose Gallagher (RCN Professional Lead for Sustainability).

This event is in person and online and open to all.
