Green Impact in Healthcare
Find out more about how Green Impact can help your healthcare organisation become more sustainable, supporting Green Plans, NHS Net Zero targets, and CQC compliance. Engagement from all roles and areas of healthcare is crucial in delivering a sustainable Net Zero Healthcare System. Many are aware of the need for change, but without structure and support at work find trying to be part of the solution challenging and isolating. They need simple, effective,easily-accessible information that is relevant to their role, and they want to connect with others who are embarking on the same journey. Green Impact can support this.
NHS Trusts
We work with NHS Trusts across the UK to create bespoke Green Impact toolkits for employee engagement. We support their staff to form teams and take tangible actions towards sustainability, aligned to their Green Plan. The programme engages people from all areas of your Trust – from clinical and research teams, to administrative departments and volunteers. Each programme works with local universities to train students as auditors, bringing the educational and health communities together in making change happen.

Primary care
Through three primary care programmes, we work with hundreds of primary care providers to improve their sustainability. These are free to access so find the relevant programme below to get involved:
- If you work in a dental practice: Any dental practice (both private and NHS) in England, Scotland or Northern Ireland can now sign-up to Green Impact Dentistry to take part for free. Contact gidentistry@sos-uk.org for registration information.
- If you work in a General Practice (GP): Any general practice in England, Scotland or Northern Ireland can join over 1,200 other registered practices in Green Impact for Health, funded by the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP). Contact giforhealth@sos-uk.org for registration information.
- If you work in primary care in Wales: All independent primary care contractors in Wales (general practices, community pharmacies, community optometry practices and primary care dental practices) can get involved in the Greener Primary Care Wales Framework, co-ordinated and funded by Public Health Wales. All actions are specific to a Welsh context and aim to support Welsh sustainability goals. Contact greenerprimarycare@wales.nhs.uk for more information.
- If you are a student, you can register to become one of our volunteer auditors! Audits for all our primary care programmes will take place in Autumn/Winter 2024, and students will be trained and supported to conduct the audits. You can be from any subject area,although those studying health related subjects will be best suited. Contact us for more information!
