‘Doing what we do but a bit greener’ – free training for Primary Care Staff
We are delighted to invite primary care professionals to join other healthcare staff on the journey to achieve net-zero by on our free training:
- Would you like to ‘go greener’ at work, but don’t have the time?
- Would you like to improve patients health, staff morale and practice finances as well as the environment but don’t know where to begin?
- Are you worried about the impact on the planet from delivering great healthcare but not sure how to start reducing the harm done?
- Would you like to learn about actions in practice based on your priorities and learn how to make it more successful?
Join our online series, led by Dr. Matt Sawyer, a GP from the North East of England and a leader in sustainable GP surgery training. Dr. Sawyer is passionate about helping primary care move towards the NHS Net Zero ambition. Watch a video about the course here.
