Sustainability in the NHS.

Here we interview Katies Knight about her efforts and that of others to achieve a “green NHS” that has sustainability embedded in all it does.

Katie is a Paediatric Emergency Medicine Consultant in the North Middlesex Hospital and has taken a lead in forming a Sustainability Group within her trust.

Working together they try to collaborate with the Trust to ensure that the site of the Trust and its practices follow green principles in how the site is organised and in its procurement.

Katie is passionate about climate change and tells us that many of the younger generation of doctors are increasingly feeling this way as they see the emergency of climate change threatening the health of the children they work with.

We are pleased to do this interview with Katie and equally pleased that sh has also agreed to join our EnCaf Core Group.
