The UK Health Alliance wants public health emergency on climate change

The UK Health Alliance on Climate Change brings together the voices of doctors, nurses and other health care professionals within the UK to advocate for action to combat and prevent climate change, emphasising the substantial co benefits to health of tackling climate change in a fair and equitable way.

The founding members of the Alliance include a range of royal medical and nursing colleges, the Royal Society of Medicine, the British Medical Association, The Lancet, and The BMJ. They are coming together to communicate the relationship between health and climate change to government and the health profession.

To help achieve this, it is building a core secretariat, and is currently seeking applications for a motivated and professional individual with strong project management and communications skills to act as its Policy and Communications Officer. They will have a diverse range of responsibilities, including the implementation of the Alliance’s advocacy efforts, the execution of its external communications strategy, and the drafting of its policy and technical documents.
