Baby Nurse At Plymouth University, the Sustainability, Society and Health Research Group have introduced scenarios to teach nurses and healthcare students about climate change and sustainability which won them a Green Gown Award in November 2014 for the category Courses and Learning. For example nursing and design students work together to tackle issues of sustainability in the health sector. They participate in interdisciplinary, sustainability scenario sessions with the design students observing their nursing counterparts as they conduct clinical procedures as part of their skills training. Healthcare items and issues about waste are discussed, before design students produce sustainable prototype products that are then tested by nursing students and lecturers.
