Three students recruited by the Campaign for Greener Healthcare carried out carbon footprinting studies in Cornwall NHS in summer 2008.  The students, employed through the Shell Step programme, surveyed staff and patients in order to include travel emissions in their analysis of GP surgeries and a community hospital.  One of the projects also mapped the flow of pharmaceuticals through the PCT to identify waste points.
