Healthcare Ocean Webinar for ABHI Members

Venue: Online.

Start: Thursday 05 Oct 2023 14:00

End: Thursday 05 Oct 2023 15:00

Healthcare Ocean was founded in 2020 by two NHS physicians, and is dedicated to conserving and protecting coastal and marine ecosystems.

In the short time since its inception, the organisation has grown into a network of motivated individuals from across healthcare, marine science, environmental & public health, and beyond. Their mission is to minimise the harm caused by healthcare procurement and delivery to coastal and marine ecosystems, whilst promoting the benefits of healthy seas, coasts, and waterways for human health and wellbeing.

In this webinar for ABHI members, we are delighted to be joined by one of Healthcare Ocean's founders, Dr Richard Hixson, for a discussion that will focus on three areas:

1. Increasing the understanding of why ocean health is declining and why this is important.

2. To explain how human health and healthcare is linked to nature/ocean health and why, without good oceanic health, we will likely fail to ever reach net zero.

3. To provide actions which individuals and organisations can take to reduce their negative impact and improve the health of natural systems.

Richard will present to ABHI members, before an open Q&A.
