What is it all about?
Climate change is one of the greatest global challenges of the 21st century. In Germany, too, it is associated with increased health risks: Heat waves and extreme weather will be more frequent. This poses major challenges for the healthcare system. A program to adapt medical care to climate change is being developed and implemented. The health effects of climate change in the Nuremberg region are also being examined in detail as an example of an urban agglomeration.
How does the study work?
A survey will first be conducted to determine the needs of GPs, specialists and patients with regard to the health impacts of climate change. A climate toolbox (toolbox) is to be created from these. The toolbox contains training for doctors on climate change and health, tools for adapting medication in the case of heat and also patient information. The tools will be developed together with physicians from the QuE and evaluated in the healthcare sector.
