We are an active member of the South East and South West Region Greener NHS Board, the AHSN Environmental Sustainability Strategy and Community of Interest Group. We also support Environmental Sustainability leads in our local system to explore collaborative opportunities across health, industry and academia.
In March 2022 Wessex AHSN and the Innovation Agency (NWC AHSN) held an informative webinar introducing innovators and suppliers to what they need to know and consider when engaging with the NHS to support the delivery of Net Zero. Below are slides from the event which we hope will provide you with useful information. If you wish to discuss anything you see on these slides further please contact our lead for Environmental Sustainability
