#ICEM22 As doctors we are incredibly privileged and can use our economic and social leverage to promote change either through corporate activism or by funding activists and conservation organisations to achieve tangible outcomes.

“Renewables make reusable better” @ForbesMcGain

A rapid transition to green power moves the dial in favour of reusable healthcare equipment.

We need to make this happen. #ClimateEmergency

@coopesdetat ED in Bendigo (director @smsbendigo) has been using reusable gowns throughout the pandemic. My understanding - there was difficulty accessing disposable gowns initially, that lead to investigation of reusable - sustainable financially and they did it. Totally worthwhile #ICEM22

@chartierlucas talks about quality of care, changes in a pandemic and reliable organizations. Ultimately plans need to be deferred to those with experience - clinicians doing the work need the final say before change is made. #ICEM2022

@DrCarmelCrock talks on diagnostic error - it is perhaps not misdiagnosis, but misperception. An error in how we make sense of the information available #ICEM22

Molloy suggests that burnout is actually "institutional abuse" & hope is not an effective burnout management strategy - Molloy #ICEM22

For a start, we can each #divest from fossil fuels.

Check out @market_forces to see how your bank, super and insurance orgs compare when it comes to finding fossil fuels.

@Prof_NickTalley tells us that with his leadership the @theMJA has divested.

[Caitlin Young @young_cait_11]

@LaksmiSg @market_forces @Prof_NickTalley @theMJA Change your superannuation! Change your bank! Tell them why you are doing it. Lots of online info, but watch out for greenwashing.

Wondering what you can do individually about climate change? A plant based diet is a good place to start. Less greenhouse gas production, less water use, less land use, less biodiversity loss. Less premature deaths. Ultimately globally less cost. #ICEM22

Planetary health is inseparable from human health- as health professionals we must be aware of the effects of #ClimateCrisis and take action.

An excellent quote attributed to Prof @rg_jones

The system isn’t broken. It was built that way. Inequity is not a bug in the system. It’s a feature.

#ICEM22 The secret to advocacy is to really listen. Don’t just speak out based on emotional reaction. Great advice from Prof Brendan Crabb

Unequal societies are unjust societies. @Paps_R Says by lifting others up, we all benefit. We all have “skin in the game”. Take courageous and become dangerous. #ICEM22

Take home message for me? Good intentions are not enough. #ICEM22
