SUMMARY:Data Visualization for Action: Driving Health Care Decarbonisation
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever presented compelling data\, only to see little or no action follow? In health care decarbonisation\, even strong evidence can fail to influence decision-makers when it isn’t communicated clearly or effectively. This webinar will explore how data visualization and storytelling can cut through complexity\, clarify insights\, and support better operational and strategic decisions. Join the Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care to learn how to turn data into visuals that inform\, persuade\, and drive action on health care decarbonisation. \n\n\n\n9AM PT / 12PM ET

SUMMARY:Cut the Carbon: Beyond the OR - Greener OTCs in Practice\, Launching the Canadian Green OTC Quick Guide
DESCRIPTION:Join CAPhE and the Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care to launch the Canadian Green OTC Quick Guide. Learn practical\, clinically sound ways to choose lower-impact OTCs for pain\, heartburn\, and supplements\, and to counsel on safe disposal—with cases across family medicine\, pharmacy\, and inpatient care. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives: \n\n\n\nPlan one concrete practice change in your setting (e.g.\, shelf tag\, default form/pack\, take-back signage) and define a simple metric to track its impact. \n\n\n\nSelect clinically appropriate\, lower-impact OTC options for common conditions (e.g.\, pain/fever\, heartburn\, supplements) and identify when not to recommend an OTC product. \n\n\n\nDeliver a 30-second counselling script covering safe use\, pack size/form selection\, and proper disposal (return-to-pharmacy; never flush).
