FREE ONLINE EVENT
The Royal Meteorological Society is inviting community leaders across Scotland to join a FREE online training session.
The purpose of these 90-minute sessions is to support understanding of climate change and provide the knowledge and confidence to talk about climate change within local communities. The training sessions will cover the science of climate change, including how changes in our polar regions impact the wider world and the actions that governments are taking to tackle the problem.
Community leaders will have the chance to learn and see examples of how climate change impacts their region. There will be an opportunity to share and discuss local experiences, learn from peers, and understand how best to communicate this critical topic more widely.
The Royal Meteorological Society will deliver the training in partnership with the British Antarctic Survey thanks to funding awarded by the Natural Environmental Research Council (part of UK Research & Innovation) through its Growing Roots public engagement funding opportunity.
Training sessions will take place between October 2022 and February 2023 and have a capacity of 20 individuals per session (maximum of two attendees per organisation per session, or five across the whole series).
Dates:
Some training sessions will have an additional regional focus, as specified in the event titles below.

The Lothian Health & Care System is refreshing its strategic direction, in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Lothian Strategic Development Framework (LSDF) describes what we are trying to achieve, our current situation, the challenges we face and the direction of travel we propose to take.
The summary document is the core of the LSDF and gives an overview of our Framework. You can access it here.
An easy read version of this summary can be found by clicking the picture
We are keen to ensure the LSDF has captured all of the elements required to provide a credible strategy, and would like to hear your views. You can share your thoughts on the LSDF by emailing us at loth.lsdf@nhslothian.scot.nhs.uk
In particular, we would like to hear your responses to the following questions:
· Do you feel the LSDF addresses the issues that are most important? If not, why not?
· Have we missed anything really significant in the LSDF? If so, what?
· What, if any, or the proposals set out in the LSDF worry or concern you?
· What would you suggest that the Lothian Health & Care System could do to alleviate your concerns?
· Is there anything else you would like to tell us before we finalise our strategy?
You can also join us at one of the public sessions we are holding over the next few weeks. Your inputs from these sessions will help shape the new Framework.

A suite of supporting documents provides more detail on the concepts and initiatives explored in the summary document. All of these documents can be accessed below in the full version of the Framework:
