Our vision

A sustainable NHS

This mapping looks at the overlap between health policy and environmental policy. For health policy, the specific focus is the purchasing and distribution of healthcare equipment. On environmental policy, the focus is recycling, upcycling, and policies which protect the environment.

The mapping also covers related issues such as the rights of workers, the international impact of climate change, fast fashion, and keeping our oceans clean. It then looks at how Members of Parliament view these issues and their stated action in these areas. In this section, the focus is mainly placed on environment policy although some Members of Parliament are specifically focused on it due to their health background.

At the top of the paper is a pink strip with the words "Centre Think Tank ISSN 2634-4696". Below this is a paper cover in grey on a light grey background. Under this are the words "A sustainable NHS. Mapping support for sustainability within the NHS". Under this is an image of three healthcare workers in blue protective clothes. Under this are the words "Stakeholder mapping. By Torrin Wilkins, September 30th, 2024". Below this is a white strip with the Centre logo and the words "Commissioned by Upcycled Medical".
