Green Maternity Showcase videos and case study reports
The Green Maternity Showcase was an event dedicated to highlighting the inspiring work of the nine project teams taking part in the Green Maternity Challenge. These teams are leading the way in creating more sustainable and equitable maternity care.
The event featured presentations from 9 clinical teams presenting their Sustainable Quality Improvement (SusQI) projects, focusing on key areas identified through collaboration with challenge partners, carbon footprinting analysis, and discussions with a lived experience group.
Through their projects, these teams are working to reduce environmental harm and health inequalities in maternity services. Teams presented their projects to a judging panel including:
- Dr Ranee Thakar, President of RCOG
- Fiona Gibb, Director, Professional Midwifery, RCM
- Emma Crookes, Lived Experience Representative
- Dr Frances Mortimer, Medical Director, CSH
Recordings of each presentation are available below, providing opportunity to learn from innovative projects shaping the future of maternity care. To go back and read more about the whole project please head back to our dedicated project page.
