This section looks at primary care net zero work being done at ICB level in England as well how to reduce our non-clinical carbon footprint

Greener Practice has been working with those in leadership positions in the ICB in England to collate good practice and information for those working in primary care.

Non-Clinical Carbon

The largest sections of non-clinical carbon are in energy use, followed by business services, staff travel and patient travel. (image from ‘See Sustainability’)

Carbon footprinting your practice may provide a useful focus for areas to work on.
