Here at Mill Road Surgery we recognise the threat that the Climate Emergency poses for our patients’ health. As a result we have signed up to the Green Impact for Health scheme, which aims to support GP surgeries in providing healthcare in a more sustainable way.
So far we have introduced a number of initiatives such as becoming a ParkRun practice, promoting inhaler recycling, changing to 70% recycled A4 paper and reducing office waste through double-sided printing.
In the coming months we hope to take more steps to reduce our environmental impact and improve planetary health whilst maximising the health and wellbeing of our patients and staff.
