In this special episode of Climate Smart Conversations, I am joined by Sarah Thorne and Hayley Beherral, the organisers of the 2024 Welsh NHS Sustainability Conference and Awards.

We look back at the conference and award ceremony, and hear from some of the award winners and conference attendees in clips recorded at the events in June 2024.
