Green Impact for Health is a program that helps general practices in the UK become more environmentally sustainable. We have been working on this for the last 12 months and we have won a gold award!

The climate emergency is also a health emergency, and health care in the UK contributes 5.4% of the UK’s carbon emissions. We need to enhance the health of our current population without compromising the health of future generations, and this means operating within the sustainable boundaries of the planet. Fortunately most of the solutions for the planet also make our health better – for example eating a mainly plant-based diet, engaging in active travel and exercise in nature, avoiding smoking, reducing pollution etc all enhance our health and reduce our need for medications, with further benefits to the NHS, your health and the carbon footprint of healthcare. Take a look at www.greenerpractice.co.uk to learn more about this.

If you have any ideas for how we can further improve our environmental impact please leave us some feedback!

Due to the volume of demand, and in line with other local GP practices, there is now a charge for GP letters.

This fee needs to be paid in case before any letter requests will be processed.

Please speak to reception to complete a request form, and for more details of fees payable.
