Healthcare exists to protect human health—but what happens when the systems designed to heal also contribute to the very crisis threatening our future?
In
this episode of Scoping the Issues, Professor Richard
Hixson—consultant in anaesthesia and critical care medicine,
physician environmentalist, and founder of CPD Match—joined us to

planetary health. The conversation highlighted a powerful truth:

to patient safety, quality of care, and global health equity.
