High traffic density, particularly during peak hours, undermines ambulance responsiveness and the equitable provision of emergency services. While existing solutions - such as compact emergency vehicles, medical drones and intelligent traffic management systems - offer promising improvements, they remain insufficient in isolation. Addressing this issue requires a systemic and coordinated response involving local authorities, emergency services, urban planners and citizens. This opinion paper argues for the integration of logistics and healthcare planning within urban policy frameworks, emphasising the need for strategic infrastructure investment and enhanced inter-agency coordination. The relevance of this analysis extends beyond local contexts: it directly contributes to international public health agendas, particularly the World Health Organization's recommendations on emergency preparedness and different United Nations' sustainable development goals. Ensuring rapid and equitable access to emergency care is no longer an operational concern alone - it is a public health and social equity imperative.</p>","PeriodicalId":73125,"journal":{"name":"Future healthcare journal","volume":"12 3","pages":"100456"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12452586/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145132877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, amid increasing alarm about climate change, interest in the sustainability of electives and alternative elective formats are gaining attention.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A scoping review of MEDLINE, Embase, ERIC, Web of Science SCOPUS, WHO Globus Index Medicus and Scielo was conducted with double-blind screening to identify previous efforts to quantify carbon costs of electives. To quantify the carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) emissions of electives, we created an approach based on the fuel efficiency of aircraft used for long-haul travel, distances from the UK to popular elective destinations and the average occupancy rates of aeroplanes. These results were compared with results from seven existing resources: MyClimate, ICAO, Google Flights, C Level and EcoTree.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The review did not identify any previous studies estimating the environmental costs of medical student electives.
