The Centre for Sustainable Healthcare
Who we are
Description
The Centre for Sustainable Healthcare supports the NHS and other healthcare providers to offer greener healthcare, benefiting people and the planet. Our charity offers strategic input and consultancy on sustainable healthcare research and practice to international, national and local programmes. Our Sustainable Specialties programme mainstreams sustainability within clinical areas so that it is integral to the planning of health systems and healthcare practice. The programme is supported by our work in medical education and in carbon modelling of clinical care. Our greenspace projects, including our NHS Forest and Nature Recovery Rangers, assist organisations to improve their natural environment and reconnect their staff, patients and the wider community with their local greenspace to benefit their health, and to restore and create accessible greenspaces at NHS sites to benefit the environment.
