This half-day training provides you with knowledge and insights into how to work with sustainability, the environment and corporate social responsibility in healthcare. If you are a member in NCSH, or if you are a healthcare worker from Sweden or Poland, you attend completely free of charge (for others, the cost is 250 EUR excl. VAT).

The training will give you an understanding of how to develop sustainable healthcare, from organisation to environmental legislation. Sustainable healthcare includes everything from reducing emissions from pharmaceuticals into the environment, to energy efficiency in hospital buildings.

You will get an introduction to topics like waste, transportation, chemicals and other crucial environmental issues for increased sustainability work in healthcare. If you participate as a consultant or supplier to the healthcare sector, you will gain awareness of the opportunities and obstacles that exist.
