According to the BBC, the health service estimates that the NHS accounts for 4% of England’s total carbon footprint. The learner worked in hospitals in Coventry and Warwick while pursuing his PhD at the university’s Research Centre for Healthcare and Communities.

“It’s an honour. This is an indication that my research work is internationally and externally recognised. Hopefully, this work will support existing evidence of climate change actions.
