2024-09-10 10:00 - 12:00 UTC | London
Policy Connect will be hosting a parliamentary summit on sustainability policy and practices in the healthcare sector, chaired by Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick.
Context
The health system is a key part of the UK economy, providing jobs and productivity and supporting the health of the workforce, but with this comes significant resource consumption, waste and deleterious social and environmental impact.
Burgeoning health service use entails increased costs and waste; how the new government can sustainably manage increasing demand, meet quality of care, and ensure safety while reducing waste in the system will require careful consideration.

Key focuses for discussion

Sustainable healthcare policy: Government and NHS commitments to sustainable healthcare, progress, and next steps in the new Parliament; and
Green health and the circular health economy: achieving efficient pathways and sustainable medical resource management, including medical waste.

Policy Connect is a cross-party think tank. We specialise in supporting forums, commissions, and parliamentary groups (APPGs), including the APPGs for Health and Sustainable Resource. In concert with our members and supporters, we deliver impactful policy research and event programmes to help shape public policy in Westminster and to improve people’s lives.
