Our Sustainability Day of Action is taking place on Clean Air Day, so it’s only right we include this topic in our day’s discussion. This webinar tackles the urgent need for improved air quality within our NHS and healthcare facilities.  

This is a pressing issue as the NHS 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. 

In this webinar you will have the opportunity to: 

• Uncover the latest technologies and practices that are elevating air quality across the NHS landscape. 

• Dive into impactful collaborations and their effective solutions to air quality challenges within healthcare environments. 

• Gain valuable insights into identifying and overcoming air quality hurdles, paving the way for sustainable and health-focused advancements. 

• Engage in a dynamic discussion about the transformative power of shared ideas and collaborative action towards a greener future with improved air quality for the NHS. 

Join us as we breathe new life into innovative solutions and collectively chart a healthier, cleaner course for our NHS and the planet.
