BREAKING: Dr Patrick Hart is the first working GP to be sent to prison for nonviolent direct action. Sentenced to 12 months for a @JustStop_Oil action against @exxonmobil petrol pumps.
Why did he do it?
Because he's seen children die at the hands of the fossil fuel industry.
The @gmcuk must find ways to avoid being on the wrong side of history to avoid removing the livelihood of doctors who are concerned and courageous enough to break what they see as immoral laws @Richard56 statement on Dr Sarah Benn

Good to see @TheBMA are alarmed by the misjudgement of @gmcuk to sanction doctors for engaging in peaceful climate action.
Time for all health leaders to choose courage over comfort & similarly speak out.

An incredible project, bringing transparency to the planetary health impact of our healthcare leadership 🌳📢 Not just for royal colleges ➡️ @thecsp would love to see you take part alongside fellow AHPs @ParamedicsUK and @BDA_Dietitians
The climate and nature emergencies are indivisibly linked and simply cannot wait. That's why I'm co-sponsoring the Climate and Nature Bill, which was introduced in the Commons yesterday, to push for urgent action and ambition. #CANBill

So many things to be proud of, and thankful for, this week, but as a public health practitioner this made me especially proud!
Well done @FPH and @rcgp for showing leadership and tangible progress on our climate commitments.
