Greener impact for health video

Did you know that Gloucestershire is one of the leading regions in the UK for pioneering sustainable steps as part of the Greener Impact for Health initiative? Would you like to find out what we have been up to and why?

This short, two-minute video shows how Royal Crescent Surgery and other practices in Gloucestershire are making the link between planetary and patient health, taking positive action to reduce our emissions and improve the wellbeing of our community. Successful steps include tackling patient and staff transport, solar energy, social and green prescribing with local walking groups in nature, switching inhaler types, checking prescriptions at the pharmacy counter to avoid stockpiling of unwanted medications at home, collective buying to enable greener procurement and more.

Look closely and you might spot a few familiar faces from the Wilson Health Centre!
