Introduction to Green Impact For Health Toolkit
Greener PCPA Award Showcase
Date: Tuesday 10th February
Time: 1.00pm - 2.00pm
The first webinar in the series features Helen Hulme, winner of the PCPA Greener Award, who will share her practice’s journey towards embedding sustainability in primary care.
The session will introduce the Green Impact for Health (GIFH) Toolkit, explaining what it is, why it matters, and the benefits of working with it. Helen will then talk through her own experience of joining the scheme — including how to get started, what helped along the way, and the challenges faced in practice.
Joined by Wendy Tyler-Batt, the webinar will conclude with practical top tips to help other practices embed sustainability into everyday working, followed by a live Q&A.
This interactive session is ideal for anyone interested in greener practice, quality improvement, and learning directly from award-winning peers.
