Sustainable healthcare in action
See how sustainable healthcare works in practice. Our case studies showcase physicians and healthcare teams who have found practical ways to embed sustainability into their day-to-day clinical practice.
Explore the RCP’s case study zone to discover what has worked elsewhere in the NHS and consider whether these actions could be adopted in your own organisation.
Case study repository
Across the UK, NHS staff are taking action to reduce the environmental impact of healthcare delivery. The RCP is building a repository of case studies to showcase and promote examples of sustainable healthcare in practice.

Ready to deliver sustainable healthcare in practice?
Get involved in sustainable quality improvement (SusQI) and research projects.
You can do this by:
- adopting one of the actions in the Green Physician Toolkit as a SusQI project. This could involve implementing low-carbon practices, reducing waste, or improving resource efficiency in your area of work. Choose an action that aligns with your interests or clinical setting, tracking its impact using the SusQI methodology.
- identifying opportunities to participate in or initiate research focused on sustainable healthcare. This might include evaluating the environmental impact of clinical pathways, studying patient outcomes in low-carbon care models, or collaborating with academic teams.
