Overview
What you will study
The Sustainable Health Care course offered by University of Oxford will introduce students to the impact of climate change on global health (bringing in conversations about climate justice and the Global North-South divide) and the impact of health care provision on climate change and the environment. Students will have the opportunity to discuss interventions that aim to tackle issues at this intersection, through critical appraisal of the research literature, real world case studies, and classroom discussion and debate. On completion of the course, students will have developed a global perspective on the issues relevant to health care and climate change. They will be able to confidently apply their learning to develop, implement, and evaluate interventions aimed at delivering health care that is sustainable for people and the planet.
