NHS Sustainability Day, is a national ‘day of action’ with a supporting campaign, encouraging NHS Trusts around the country to participate in a sustainable activity. The annual NHS Sustainability Day is this Thursday 19th March.
Over the years, this annual Campaign has gone from strength to strength, recognising and sharing good practice across the health sector through events, professional networks, publications and national awards.
