My name’s Isobel Braithwaite and I’m a medical student interested in healthcare sustainability - I’ve recently started an internship at CSH, and would really appreciate your input! Part of what I’m working on is to update the Sustainable Primary Care online case library: essentially, we know that there’s loads of great stuff going on across the UK, and many of you have told us about the creative ways that you’ve been trying to make primary
care in your area more sustainable. However, a lot of that information is currently not accessible to the many other GPs, practice managers etc. who might be interested to read about and learn from your experiences.
Along the same lines as the Green Nephrology Case Library (http://map.greenerhealthcare.org/green-nephrology-projects), the new Primary Care case library will make it easy for interested people to search for projects in particular areas (e.g. travel, energy use), or by location, in order to find inspiration and useful tips.
We're keen to hear from anyone working in primary care about planned, completed and ongoing projects, however big or small. There’s a case study template at http://sustainablehealthcare.org.uk/sustainable-primary-care/resources/2012/08/template-primary-care-sustainability-case-studies and it would be fantastic if you could fill it out and email to info@sustainablehealthcare.org.uk.
If it’s easier, I’d be very happy to ring you to chat about it at a time convenient for you. If you have any questions (eg. for help working out carbon savings), please email me at Isobel.Braithwaite@sustainablehealthcare.org.uk.
I look forward to hearing from you, and thanks in advance!
