Engaging General Practice in actions for the health of patients and planet
Greener Practice Network
Greener Practice is a primary care climate and sustainability network which recognises that the climate and ecological crisis is the leading public health issue of our generation.
The network aims to raise awareness of the health benefits of climate action and support our primary care community to take practical action towards greener practice.
The Greener Practice Network has a great blog and a list of of local Greener Practice groups across the country. The network also provides some excellent resources such as the Green Impact for Health Audit and links to other useful resources such as the 10 tips for greener general practice.
