Teaching Sustainable Healthcare through the Critical Medical Humanities.
In a Lancet paper the authors argue for a more critical, transformative and philosophically-underpinned approach to teaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The video is from the launch event of the Lancet paper May 16, 2023.

Panelists:
Eivind Engebretsen, Magda Robalo, Jessamy Bagenal, Ritika Sharma, Tony Sandset, Kristin M. Heggen, Ole Petter Ottersen, Trish Greenhalgh.

The Lancet paper in brief:
The standard approach presents the SDGs as uncontested and universally agreed-upon targets, which oversimplifies their complexity and inherent contradictions and engages only superficially with the central unifying theme of sustainability. Whilst environmentally friendly healthcare practices and reducing healthcare’s carbon footprint are important goals, conflating them with the sustainability agenda conveys an overly narrow message about what sustainability is and how we might achieve it.

To address these issues, the article proposes a more radical approach that integrates critical medical humanities into sustainable healthcare education and SDG discussions. In this webinar, the authors and panelists will discuss this transformative agenda and share insights and experiences, highlighting the potential benefits and challenges of this approach in both educational and practical settings.

The event was made by Centre for Sustainable Healthcare Education (SHE) & Sustainit.
