The Future of Medicine: Bridging Sustainability and Healthcare Systems
The Faculty of Medical and Life Sciences (FMLS) recently held a compelling session titled "The Future of Medicine: Bridging Sustainability and Healthcare Systems" on 30th May 2025, from 10:30am to 12:30pm at Jeffrey Square, Level 11.
The event welcomed Professor Nick Watts, Director of the Centre for Sustainable Medicine at the National University of Singapore, who shared insightful perspectives on integrating sustainability into modern healthcare. Using the UK’s National Health System (NHS) as a case study, Professor Watts illustrated effective strategies to reduce the medical field’s carbon footprint.
Renowned for his work in establishing Net Zero Healthcare Systems, Professor Watts encouraged the audience to reimagine medicine not only as a practice of healing people but also as a powerful avenue to protect our planet.
The session ignited thoughtful dialogue among students, academics, and healthcare professionals, further affirming FMLS’s dedication to cultivating a new generation of environmentally conscious and future-ready medical leaders.
