Net Zero NHS: Leaders Debate: Travel & Transport

Patients, visitors, workers, and suppliers to the NHS account for roughly 3.5% of all road travel in England, accounting for nearly 14% of the system’s total emissions. Some of the broad interventions considered to reduce this, range from transitioning to low-emission vehicles, to reducing unnecessary journeys and enabling healthier, active forms of travel such as cycling and walking. 

On 25 August NHE are bringing industry leaders together to share knowledge and insight on how we can achieve a net-zero NHS.
