- Dr Johnny Edgar, Consultant Anaesthetist, University Hospital Hairmyres
- Marie Porteous, FM Lead, MRP

Michael Simpson, acting head of sustainability & environmental management, NHS Lanarkshire, said: “Getting together with a few other sustainability-focused colleagues within NHS Lanarkshire was a great opportunity to bring together different ideas and initiatives within our workplace that contribute to a greener Lanarkshire.
“Moreover, it also gave us a chance to discuss the rapid action needed for climate change, as the last two years being the warmest two years ever recorded.
“It was fantastic to listen to each person who took part, and I hope other colleagues within NHS Lanarkshire enjoy listening too and even take some inspiration to make everyday sustainable changes.”
