About The Centre for Sustainable Healthcare

The Centre for Sustainable Healthcare (CSH) has been leading efforts to incorporate the values of environmental sustainability into the health sector since its establishment in 2008. Our work is underpinned by CSH’s Principles of Sustainable Clinical Practice: prevention; patient empowerment; lean care systems; low carbon alternatives.    

Our vision is for all people in the health system to be able to shape and deliver sustainable healthcare which supports our communities and our natural world; our mission is to inspire and empower people with the knowledge, skills and tools to play their part in the transformation to sustainable healthcare.   

Our Clinical Transformation Programme mainstreams environmental sustainability within clinical areas so that it is integral to the planning of health systems and the practice of healthcare professionals and provides training in sustainable healthcare and planetary health for staff in educational institutions, professional bodies and healthcare organisations. The Green Space for Health Programme works to realise the value of the NHS green estate for physical and mental health, supporting NHS sites to develop their green space for the benefit of patients, staff and communities, while improving biodiversity and combatting climate change. These programmes are supported through the work of our Core team.
