In this episode of the RCP Medicine podcast, Professor Mark Harber, nephrologist, and RCP sustainability advisor, is joined by Chris Gormley, Chief Sustainability Officer at NHS England, to explore the NHS’s groundbreaking journey toward net zero.Together, they discuss the origins of the NHS’s green strategy, the global health implications of climate change, and the ambitious targets set for 2040 and 2045. Chris shares insights into the NHS’s leadership on sustainability, the economic and health drivers behind the movement, and the practical steps being taken - from decarbonising the supply chain to rolling out solar energy across NHS estates.Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities in embedding sustainability into clinical practice, the importance of international collaboration, and how clinicians and staff can get involved through green plans and toolkits.Resources<ul><li>Greener NHS plan website - <a href='https://www.england.nhs.uk/greenernhs/'>https://www.england.nhs.uk/greenernhs/</a></li><li>Greener NHS – case studies <a href='https://www.england.nhs.uk/greenernhs/whats-already-happening/'>https://www.england.nhs.uk/greenernhs/whats-already-happening/</a></li><li><a href='https://networks.sustainablehealthcare.org.uk/sites/default/files/2023-06/12%20Things%20we%20can%20do%20as%20individuals%20to%20become%20greener%20-%20June%202023.pdf'>12 things we can do as individuals to become greener</a></li><li><a href='https://www.rcplondon.ac.uk/guidelines-policy/rcp-view-healthcare-sustainability-and-climate-change'>RCP view on healthcare sustainability and climate change</a></li><li>CSH Courses <a href='https://sustainablehealthcare.org.uk/courses/'>Courses | Centre for Sustainable Healthcare</a></li><li>e-learning for Health – Environmentally Sustainable Healthcare <a href='https://www.e-lfh.org.uk/programmes/environmentally-sustainable-healthcare/'>Environmentally Sustainable Healthcare - elearning for healthcare (e-lfh.org.uk)</a></li><li>SusQI.org (step by step guide) <a href='https://www.susqi.org/step-by-step-guide'>Step-by-step guide | Centre for Sustainab (susqi.org)</a></li><li>Greener NHS <a href='https://www.england.nhs.uk/greenernhs/'>Greener NHS (england.nhs.uk)</a> CSH Resource Library <a href='https://networks.sustainablehealthcare.org.uk/resources'>Resource library | Sustainable Healthcare Networks Hub</a></li><li>CSH Networks <a href='https://networks.sustainablehealthcare.org.uk/networks'>Networks | Sustainable Healthcare Networks Hub</a></li></ul>RCP Links <ul> <li><a href='https://www.rcp.ac.uk/events-and-education/education-and-learning/'>Education</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.rcp.ac.uk/events-and-education/events/'>Events</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.rcp.ac.uk/membership/'>Membership</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.rcp.ac.uk/improving-care/'>Improving care</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.rcp.ac.uk/policy-and-campaigns/'>Policy and campaigns</a></li> </ul> RCP Social Media <ul> <li><a href='https://www.instagram.com/rcphysicians%20'>Instagram</a></li> <li><a href='https://uk.linkedin.com/company/royal-college-of-physicians'>LinkedIn</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.facebook.com/RoyalCollegeofPhysicians'>Facebook</a></li> <li><a href='https://x.com/RCPhysicians'>X</a></li> <li><a href='https://bsky.app/profile/rcphysicians.bsky.social'>Bluesky</a></li> </ul> Music: Episode 50 onward - Bensound.com Episodes 1 - 49 'Impressive Deals' - Nicolai Heidlas
