NHSScotland Sustainability Conference 2018

The third NHSScotland Sustainability Conference is brought to you by NHS National Services Scotland and the Scottish Managed Sustainable Health Network (SMaSH).

Now firmly established, this Conference annually tackles the issues we face in the fight for sustainability and bettering our environment, with a shifting focusing annually relative to our current climate.

This year’s annual Conference will explore the role of the NHS in delivering the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), otherwise known as the Global Goals.

These Global Goals are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Achieving them requires the partnership of governments, private sector, civil society and citizens, each striving to ensure we are doing all we can to leave our planet better-off for future generations.

The programme will present best-practice examples and expert views from across Scotland, exploring how the delivery of high quality patient services come with essential sustainability co-benefits that support the drive to a Greener and Healthier Scotland of the future.
