‘Care is human. It is about personal interaction, uncertainty, co-creation and compassion in managing risk, anxiety and hope. It is about the power of the relationships and being able to jointly identify issues that affect us, our preferences and our goals’ Diolch @DrGregorSmith
We held our first speaker series event today, where PHS colleagues heard from @DrGregorSmith on the recently published CMO Annual Report, and took part in conversations with @PaulJ_PHS and @michaelkellet on Scotland's health challenges and our contribution to addressing them.
Amazing start to the “@P_H_S_Official Speaker Series” - over the year we will be holding organisational wide sessions & inviting system leaders to support PHS explore & create innovative opportunities to support Scotland’s health inequalities & life expectancy

The 4 great population health challenges we face. And the risk to professionalism if we allow transactional, industrialised care to win over Careful and Kind Care.
My annual report discusses this & shows that we still have agency & hope of a different way https://t.co/ZD7RRS61ul
Ahead of the launch of this years Annual Report, due to be launched on 21st June, @DrGregorSmith provides some reflections on A Fair and Sustainable Future. #realisticmedicine
Telling human stories that people can relate to, empathise with, and feel empowered by to influence change for the benefit of human and planetary health - wise words from @AndrewElder to close #rcpeCOP26
Superb work from @saflba88 who goes on to describe a list of 10 simple things that clinicians can do to make a difference in reducing environmental impact #rcpeCOP26
.@AndrewElder: "It's having the will to make a change. We, as members of the medical profession, need to ensure that our voices are heard in order to tackle the challenge of climate change & global health. "Many voices need to carry the words." #rcpeCOP26@DrGregorSmith@RCPEdin
"We need a systems thinking approach [about climate and health]," says Liz Willetts. The agendas have commonality but the architecture of our structures remains siloed. The road to COP27 needs a checklist! @IISD_news#rcpeCOP26@DrGregorSmith
Next up is Dr Liz Willetts from @IISD_news about creating the space where climate scientists and health professionals can meet. #rcpeCOP26@DrGregorSmith
Medical professionals are the most trusted profession in the world ... they have a vital role to play in influencing and communicating the public health benefits of action on climate change @DiarmidCL#rcpeCOP26#WalkTheTalk@UKHealthClimate
.@saflba88 shares what we can do as individuals working in clinical care. "I found it difficult to reconcile the way that we currently work with my own personal beliefs around sustainability." #rcpeCOP26@DrGregorSmith
.@DrGregorSmith, "I am determined that we foster a new culture of stewardship - where we are mindful of the resources we use and deliver green & sustainable healthcare. Better value care for the people we care for and for our system." #rcpeCOP26
