Synopsis

  • Dentistry is responsible for 3% of the NHS’s carbon emissions, and until this project had no embedded sustainability training. Building sustainability into Dental Core Training therefore became a key priority. 

  • The course pre-reading utilises the CSH’s open-source education pack contents, and the sustainability in QI teaching content is delivered in three parts: 1) Educational workshops, 2) Project development sessions, and the 3) Project presentation day. 

  • Example projects are outlined in this presentation.  

  • Testimonials indicate that  trainees felt empowered through this content to initiate sustainable change in their workplace.
