What we do
Healthcare Carbon Literacy Training
Carbon literacy is vital climate change learning that catalyses action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
We teach the Science, the Impact and the Actions needed to become carbon literate.
Primary Care Carbon Footprinting
Greenhouse gas emissions from healthcare are substantial. Carbon footprinting gives you an idea of the hotspots from your practice, business or organisation and helps plan a Carbon Reduction Strategy
Green Practice Action Plans
Green Practice Action Plans
Would you like to develop a green practice plan or declare a climate emergency but not sure how to do this or what it means ?

Help you to get your practice to net-zero
Primary care needs to be responsible for our emissions. The human health and planetary health benefits of tackling our emissions and the climate crisis are well demonstrated. Inaction is increasingly fatal for both.
Following the Greener NHS plan in Oct 2020, the Lancet report on carbon in the NHS and the HealthCare Without Harm report on Global road map for decarbonization, primary care in the UK needs its own roadmap.
We at SEE Sustainability are here to help you and your practice reduce your environmental impact while improving outcomes for patients and staff
This short video gives an overview of four pillars for primary care to become net zero
We can help you with practical resources
1. Become Carbon Literate
2. Calculate the carbon footprint of the practice
3. Develop a practice 'Green Action Plan' for decarbonising all the hotspots
4. Declare a climate emergency in your practice or place of work
Helping join up great healthcare for patients and great environmental care for our planet
