Concerns About Health Impacts of Climate Change
A recent survey by the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) reveals that three in four doctors (75.1%) are concerned about the impact of climate change on their patients' health.
The survey also found that only 16% of responding doctors feel their workplace is prepared for extreme weather events, such as heatwaves or flooding.
