Our Green Health Strategy outlines how we will achieve our vision for the programme of realising the potential of the NHS outdoor estate, supporting enhancements and activities that benefit patients, visitors, staff and communities and help fight climate change and biodiversity loss.
We are delighted to have supported NHS Lothian to develop Scotland’s first NHS board Biodiversity Action Plan. Our collaboration with Estates and Facilities, Capital Planning and Analytical Services along with support from NHS Scotland Assure, has been key to creating this groundbreaking plan.
