Can a student "Community of Practice" affect change in health education and practice?
Student nurses will be caring for people because of the consequences of climate change. Climate change is likely to lead to an increased demand on emergency and health services; it is clear that the environmental problems and effects associated with it are already happening and impact most heavily on older people, children, and low-income families.
