This is a great piece of work and we at the DSN are mentioned! Working collaboratively towards green change within dermatology and wider medicine is something that needs to be driven by organisational support in order to compliment what individuals are doing. Dermatology organisations have the power to lead change in this space (and are actively effecting that) particularly with engaging with health providers and industry. Some big names in this paper - credit to them.
