Information and Resources

Information and resources on sustainable healthcare for clinicians, patients, students and educators.

  • Why Environmentally Sustainable Practice?

    The climate crisis is a health crisis. The climate and ecological emergency underpins all the social and environmental determinants of health. Climate action can have huge health benefits.

  • Clinical considerations

    Approximately 60% of the carbon emissions of primary care arise from our clinical work.

  • Organisational considerations

    This section looks at primary care net zero work being done at ICB level in England as well how to reduce our non-clinical carbon footprint

  • Information for students and trainees

    Sustainability and planetary health are increasingly becoming embedded into the medical curriculum.

  • Information for patients

    Sustainable healthcare aims to work in partnership with patients and communities to improve health, whilst reducing the impacts of the climate and ecological crisis.
