PEACCH Healthcare Adaptation Webinar Series
In June 2025 PEACCH hosted a webinar series involving a fantastic range of guest speakers from academia and within NHS organisations who are already on their way to adapting, and who wanted to share their experiences. The online events were free to attend and designed for anyone interested in learning more about climate adaptation within a healthcare setting. Staff with an interest or responsibilities for delivering EPRR, estates and facilities management, procurement, sustainability, public health, and Net-Zero may find the content particularly relevant, but as climate adaptation is going to be important for everyone, the events were open to all to attend.
The programme with speaker bios is available here.
