Greener Primary Care Wales Framework and Award Scheme
The framework is free to access online and has been developed in collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders. The main aim is to support changes in day-to-day practice which will help Wales to reach decarbonisation targets. There are over 50 actions for practices to choose from, providing flexibility depending on how each practice works.
Climate change will be a big health challenge in the future, with potentially wide-ranging and adverse consequences. Calls to action are increasing among health professionals that keeping patients well must include helping to create a healthier environment.
