LDN Sustainable Healthcare Academy
The NHS was the first health system in the world to commit to reaching net zero emissions. Delivering this ambition requires colleagues across all roles to have the skills and confidence to drive sustainability.
The LDN Sustainable Healthcare Academy, developed in partnership with the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare and Greener NHS, equips NHS professionals with the practical knowledge and tools they need to support their organisation’s Green Plan.
Open to all NHS colleagues helping to drive sustainability within their trust, the Academy helps participants become sustainability champions, leading and supporting initiatives that deliver real, measurable impact.
