Description
Stephen James Walsh, Aisling O'Leary, and Matthew Lynch interview primary care workers in Ireland in a 2025 study on green health care. Health care leaves a large mark on the planet, and primary care accounts for up to a quarter of it.
Twenty pharmacists, dentists, doctors, and practice nurses were interviewed in depth. Most saw climate action as important, yet many felt unable to turn concern into change in their daily work. Blocks included low knowledge, little guidance, and weak system support. Workers asked for focused training, handy tools, and clear leadership. The study adds the voice of front line staff to a field often led from above.
