Introduction
Greener Practice Cornwall’s aim is to learn from each other and disseminate sustainable healthcare advice to practice level. We work closely with our partners in secondary care, Cornwall council and the voluntary sector. We ask all practices to sign up to the GIFH toolkit.
In contrast to what the tourists see, Cornwall has deep pockets of deprivation and despite our beautiful coastline we have many areas of poor air quality. We aim to show how improving our patients health is not only good for them but also to the planet and want everyone to be able to enjoy and protect the incredible biodiversity Cornwall has to offer.
