Sustainability

Introduction

Climate change is a health emergency and medicines account for 25% of emissions within the NHS. Medicines sustainability resources have been developed in partnership with our clinical experts for use by health professionals and clinical teams in NHS North West London to help support delivering a ‘Net Zero’ NHS.
