Sustainable Healthcare for Net Zero: How to scale collaborative communities and empower staff to lead green projects

19 Nov 2024
Room 2 - Break Out
Learn

In the UK, the health service contributes around 4-5% of total UK carbon emissions and the NHS in England alone is responsible for 40% of the public sector's emissions. Innovations that tackle this core issue are fundamental to the future of our planet, but require individuals across an organisation to work together for meaningful change.

In this hands-on workshop you will:

  • Understand how to create mechanisms to scale staff green communities
  • Hear examples from collaborative green communities that have made meaningful impact within their organisation
  • Learn how to overcome common challenges in staff engagement and empowerment
  • Explore techniques for implementing and scaling sustainability projects using Green QI methodology

By the end of this session, you'll have a toolkit of practical techniques, a network of like-minded professionals, and ideas that you can implement in your own workplace. Join us to turn your sustainability goals into reality and contribute to reducing the NHS's carbon footprint.
