With the implementation of the Health and Care Act 2022, which imposes significant obligations on NHS England, all trusts, foundation trusts, and integrated care boards to contribute towards statutory emissions and environmental targets, the NHS has become the first health system globally to incorporate net zero into legislation and best practices. We recognise that this puts a great deal of pressure on healthcare providers and clinicians alike. Since 2008, the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare has assisted organisations and healthcare professionals in understanding the links between health and the environment and minimising the resource footprint of the healthcare industry. With a variety of important resources and educational opportunities, we can support you in making sure that your clinical practice or healthcare policies are are meeting these new requirements. #SustainableHealthCare #GreenHealth #netzero

NHS Trusts and healthcare organisations invited to take part in co-developing a prototype to help understand, report and manage the carbon footprint of their care pathways. The NHS is committed to becoming the world's first net zero national health service by 2040. With this commitment comes a series of objectives, actions and reporting responsibilities for all health and care organisations. The Net Zero Health and Care Pathway Tool uses a global standard for calculating greenhouse gas emissions and applies this across an entire care pathway. Not only does this simplify measurement and reporting but by capturing carbon cost across care pathways, rather than at a functional or departmental level, plans and performance can be more accurately evaluated to improve decision-making and accelerate system-wide progress. We are offering access to the prototype version, free of charge, for NHS trusts or organisations wanting to be at the forefront of sustainable healthcare innovation To find out more, please follow this link https://bit.ly/3WNdpxQ #NHS #NHStrust #nezero #Healthcare Olu Akinremi Becky Jones

🌍 How can healthcare trusts deliver social value benefits to their communities? Following his piece in Action Sustainability on how NHS suppliers can get the most out of their social value offerings, our Sustainability and Social Value Manager, Alastair Clay, gave us some top tips on the innovative social value role that trusts can play as anchor organisations: https://bit.ly/3Y0UYIr Read the piece from Action Sustainability here: https://bit.ly/3zkJFQN #InnovationMatters

This report delves into the utilisation of national policy tools concerning net zero healthcare, highlighting current practices, pinpointing areas for improvement, and suggesting strategies for accelerated advancement. As the government shapes its forthcoming 10-year health strategy and a fresh long-term reform plan for the NHS in England, the Health Foundation underlines four key focal points for policymakers to uphold the momentum towards achieving net zero objectives.

Sustainability in healthcare is about resilience while being green. The NHS’s renewed focus on sustainable practices—from energy efficiency to waste reduction—is a reminder that healthcare systems must adapt to protect both patients and the planet. For us at London Healthcare Locums, this aligns perfectly with our ethos. Efficient systems not only save resources but also improve patient outcomes. For example, adopting digital solutions reduces the paperwork burden, giving healthcare professionals more time to focus on care. As leaders in this field, it’s our duty to champion these efforts. Because a sustainable healthcare system is essential for future generations. What sustainability initiatives have you seen in action? Share your thoughts and let’s discuss how we can all contribute. #NHSEngland #Healthcare #NHS #Locums #DoctorsOfUK #LocumLife #MedicalProfessionals 

This carbon pathway tool is really innovative and helpful …….How much carbon can you save from your pathway transformation process?

Val Elderkin like any good advent calendar you really want to get the chocolates behind every door :-) And these are all opportunities, particularly in terms of pushing health away from treatment and into prevention and investing on those most in need of help. I am a little conflicted - particularly with the raft of these that concern equity - how much do you focus on driving equity as opposed to improving healthcare with not much change in equity? Do all innovations have to drive health equity? Almost certainly, but to what extent. In terms of NHS agency: 11, 12, 13 if I can have three. (Honourable mention: innovation.)
