Present a one-day conference on: NHS CARBON REDUCTION STRATEGY & SUSTAINABILITYheld on FRIDAY, 30TH APRIL 2010 at THE CONFERENCE CENTRE,
The NHS is the largest single estate in Europe, employing 5 per cent of the UK workforce, with a very large carbon footprint, producing more than 18 million tonnes of CO2 per year - 3.2 per cent of carbon emissions and 25 per cent of public sector emissions in England - the largest public sector contributor to climate change. In order to meet its obligations under the Climate Change Act, the NHS needs to embed sustainable practices across the sector - people, procurement and processes. The urgency of the problem means this process must begin immediately - "there is no room for failure". Climate change remains an urgent and serious health challenge; creating a sustainable NHS will not only aid in providing leadership and mitigation on climate change now, but will also produce greater efficiency savings going forward - essential in the current economic recession - establishing the NHS as a future global market leader. This conference intends to identify the 10 key areas and provide the audience with presenters who are active advocates, leaders and experts of the Sustainability Strategy within the NHS to focus upon the relevant areas respective to Estates responsibility.
The cost of attending the conference is £100.00 per person. This includes attendance at the conference, a certificate of attendance, course handouts, coffee/tea & bacon roll on arrival, mid morning coffee/tea, two-course buffet lunch and afternoon tea/coffee.
