We have signed up the Green Impact for Health toolkit set up by the Royal College of General Practitioners and will keep you informed of our progress
Visit the the Royal College of General Practitioners website for more information.
We are actively trying to reduce our impact on the environment and become a more sustainable practice
Greener Practice – The group’s aim is to engage our primary care community in Greener Practice: actions that improve the health of both people and planet
Active changes to date
- Using paper cups instead of plastic cups – encouraging staff to use refillable water bottles at work
- Using text messages to notify patients instead of letters which has significantly reduced the amout of paper used.
- Encouraging public transport / walking to work
- Encouraging double sided copying and printing and encouraging to think paper light.
The practice follows the accessible information standard (AIS). The aim of the AIS is to make sure that people who have a disability, impairment or sensory loss get information that they can access and understand, and any communication support that they need.
Should any patient require any additional support in accessing our information do not hesitate to let the practice know.
Patients with communication needs can email the practice as this is monitored regularly.
