Our Green Plan
We are refreshing our Green Plan
Our commitment to delivering care that supports the health of people and environment is stronger than ever; how this will look going forward will be set out in our refreshed Green Plan.
The current Green Plan can be found here. You can review our progress to date in our latest Trust Annual Report.
We’re working on our updated Green Plan at the moment. We’re proud of how it aligns with the NHS 10-year plan, in particular more community-based care, better use of digital technology and a focus on prevention. These three pillars of the 10-year plan all speak to how we can do more to become a more sustainable healthcare provider and continue to deliver the care our patients need.
In line with our collaborative approach to sustainability in Sussex, our ICS Green Plan has been developed first (due Oct 25). This sets out the agreed system approach, based on our joint Care Without Carbon framework, as well as our six key priorities and targets.
Our current Green Plan is valid until March 2026. As a system we are proposing to update our trust plans following sign off of our system level plans to enable appropriate engagement and alignment. At QVH our Green Plan is due to go to Board early in 2026 for final sign off and will be developed in line with the NHS England Green Plan refresh guidance. Once signed off we will make it available as with our current Green Plan, on our website.
