DEA PowerPoint Presentation on the Science & Health Impacts of Climate Change

Submitted by David Shearman on Tue, 15/12/2009 - 16:37.

As many of our medical colleagues are unaware of the health impacts of climate change DEA has developed a set of slides which you can use to present to your peers. This PowerPoint presentation covers basic climate science and the health impacts of climate change and uses a medical analogy to put the case for urgent action.

It could be used to present to a small group learning meeting in a clinical setting or to a journal club in a hospital environment or community health centre. It comes with accompanying notes for each slide, making it easy to use.

We hope you find this a useful tool and are able to use it to "spread the word" on this important topic. Click here to Dowload the PowerPoint file (7.5MB).

There is also a fantastic video relating to the effects of climate change available for viewing or dowload -
