Today’s health professionals are rightly expected not just to provide exemplary individual care, but to contribute to systematically improving healthcare services, using a process called Quality Improvement (QI).

 

Despite growing awareness and concern about the climate and ecological emergency, as well as UK Government and NHS England commitments on carbon reduction, there remains a gap in knowledge and skills for sustainable healthcare among health professionals.  

​

At the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare we believe that by integrating sustainability into quality improvement, social and environmental challenges in healthcare can be addressed as a core part of professional practice, using a recognised method for change.
