Mission & Goals
Since 2008, the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare, which is a UK charity, has engaged healthcare professionals, patients and wider community to understand the connections between health and environment, and to reduce healthcare's resource footprint. The Centre offers strategic input and consultancy on sustainable healthcare research and practice. 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 Sustainable Networks Community is a free online resource where you can join an engaged online forum of peers and experts in sustainable healthcare. Our green space projects, including our NHS Forest, assist organisations to improve their natural environment and reconnect their staff, patients and the wider community with their local green space to benefit their health.
