Sustainability in Healthcare Made Simple

This away day will help you to build a practical response to the NHS 'asks', based on your specific company’s priorities and value proposition.

This day is aimed at anyone working in an NHS supplier company who would like to understand more about the world of environmental sustainability.

You do not need to be an expert, you just need to understand that this is a priority because the NHS has committed itself to becoming the ‘world’s first net zero national health service’ setting out ambitious targets to achieve this objective in Delivering to a ‘Net Zero’ National Health Service (October 2020). We understand that individuals in many companies are being asked to be responsible for this without previous expertise. We are here to help you.

Our joint targets to match the NHS plan are that we reach net zero by 2040 for emissions that the NHS controls directly, and for emissions that the NHS can influence, we must help them reach net zero by 2045.

Our Experts include:
