How to lead for people and planet. With Rammina Yassaie. Episode 107

Doctors at Work

We all know that we are in the midst of a climate emergency, but what can we as doctors do? In this episode, Rammina tells me that at personal level, we can do what we can (it doesn't have to be perfect!) and share out stories to inspire others. As a profession we need to think differently, and aligning financial with patient-centred and environmental agendas is often very compatible; this is about practicing with the planet in mind. And she argues that the climate emergency is a healthcare emergency, and as doctors we need to also be aware of the wider political discussions because healthcare is already being affected by climate change.
Dr Rammina Yassaie is a Senior Lecturer in Leadership at the Centre for Leadership in Health and Social Care at Sheffield Hallam University. Prior to this, she worked as an NHS doctor for over a decade and is alumni of both the Yorkshire and Humber Future Leaders Programme and the FMLM NHS Regional Clinical Leadership Programme. She is an Associate Editor with BMJ Leader and the co-lead for Planetary Health and Climate action in the journal and curates the BMJ Leader Greener Leader blog series in light of her passion for leading for planetary health. She strongly believes in doing everything we can to ensure we have a safe and liveable future for all.
