Thanks Jordan! If you would like to be a moderator - introduce the speaker/answer questions in the chat or make sure they are put to the speakers so they don't have to try and do everything at once that would be great - email me and let me know when you have availability during the week. Also spread the word and if you can organise a Greener AHP event that week in your local trust that would be ideal - we're thinking a challenge (bring your reusable cup to work, active travel competition between professions/depts, meat free Monday etc.) or creating a network if there isn't one already, Love to hear all ideas! Thanks Jackie Jacqueline.gordon3@nhs.net

Fantastic! Love to know more about the content so we can also share, what are people speaking about and which services? We have a physio presentation at the same time so will check if can rearrange to avoid clash. BW Jackie
