The Platform, a new and improved Greener Practice website, will offer multiple benefits:
- Improved networking: the new national ‘People Map’ will make it easy to find and connect with other members working on similar projects, so you can ask questions, share ideas and inspire each other.
- Simplified membership: the new sign-up process and formation of Whatsapp communities will make it easy to streamline your groups and manage your membership.
- Network PLUS Membership: If you want ready-to-go projects and resources for your practice to improve patient health, boost efficiency, save money, reduce carbon emissions and help with CQC inspection, then we have the answer! This paid upgrade gives you access to our Project Library (housing >50 practical QI projects, perfect for your trainees) and Resource Library (including a practice ‘green plan’, a carbon calculator, and practice policies to help with the Green Impact for Health Toolkit).
What do you need to do:
Watch this space: In May we’ll ask everyone to sign up to be a free Greener Practice ‘Network Member’ to access the platform. Everyone who wants to continue to be part of our Network will need to sign up to be a Network Member. It gives you continued free access to our newsletter, emails, Whatsapp groups and local groups. Just head back here in mid-May (same website address) to see the Platform and sign-up. You can also sign up to our newsletter for updates.
Ask your wider organisation (e.g. ICB, PCN, Cluster etc) to consider purchasing ‘Network PLUS’ membership, for all their practices: This paid upgrade gives access to the Project Library and Resource Library. The videos and infographics below show the benefits of the Platform for GP Practices, PCNs & Clusters and ICBs. Smaller organisations e.g. GP Practices, PCNs etc. will be able to purchase access directly from the website when it launches in May. Larger organisations such as ICBs should contact us (contact@greenerpractice.com) for further information. The income from this is vital to help Greener Practice continue as a not-for-profit CIC and to maintain and update the Platform.
