Visit from NHS Scotland to the Together for greener healthcare team

Recently, the Together for greener healthcare team welcomed two colleagues from NHS Scotland: surgeon Vivienne Gough and intensivist Douglas Coventry.

Together, we explored the differences and similarities in greening hospitals in the Netherlands and Scotland, from the challenges of implementing green initiatives to the crucial role of human behaviour and the resistance we encounter along the way. It was a valuable exchange of knowledge and experience.

What do we have most in common? The passion and determination to make the healthcare sector greener and more sustainable!
