Air Pollution Companion

Welcome to the Air Pollution Companion – a ‘one stop shop’ to learn about air pollution and child health, and integrate it into your practice. This resource was developed by the Clean Air Fund Partnership team, which includes three Clinical Fellows working alongside RCPCH policy experts.

How to use the Air Pollution Companion: If you're new to this topic, head to 'build your knowledge'. If you're already confident in your understanding, choose 'talk to patients' or 'advocate for change' to expand your skills.

Our library of case studies highlights projects and professionals working to improve air quality, and we're also exploring clean air clinics as a model for clinical change. If we've piqued your interest, join our 'clean air community' to collaborate with like-minded colleagues and stay updated on current events.

After you have engaged in these resources, you can record your learning as CPD. Reflect on what you have learned, how it will influence your practice and any further actions you plan to take.
