Greener Practices: Small Changes, Big Impact

🎙 Making general practice more sustainable doesn't have to mean making huge changes overnight. Often, it's the small, practical improvements that can collectively make the biggest difference. In this episode of The Halfway Point podcast, Ben Scorer is joined by Freya Keith from Dene Healthcare to explore how practices can take realistic steps towards becoming greener, more sustainable organisations. Drawing on her previous experience as a Practice Manager, Freya understands the challenge of introducing new initiatives alongside the everyday pressures of running a busy practice. We explore the NHS Green Practice Toolkit, where practices can begin their sustainability journey and how small changes around waste, procurement and everyday working practices can have a positive impact. Whether your practice already has a sustainability plan or you're wondering where to begin, this episode is a reminder that you don't have to change everything at once. Small changes really can have a big impact. ***** Full resources and the show notes for this episode are available at https://locumpm.co.uk/the-halfway-point. ℹ️ You can find more information on our upcoming Practice Manager Conference in Salisbury at https://locumpm.co.uk/upcoming-events. 💌 You can stay up-to-date with The Halfway Point podcast by subscribing to the Locum PM Newsletter: https://locumpm.co.uk/newsletter. ☕️ If you would like to support the work of The Halfway Point podcast, you can do so via our Buy Me A Coffee page: https://buymeacoffee.com/locumpm. 💬 Drop a comment, let us know your thoughts on this episode and don’t forget to like, subscribe and share with colleagues to help spread the word! 🫶 If you have a topic you would like covered on The Halfway Point, let us know in the comments or email us at [email protected].
