Embedding Sustainability into QI Training & Practice – Case Studies from Two NHS Trusts 🌍

“All QI needs to include sustainability.” This is not an add-on—it’s essential.

Two leading NHS Trusts—Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT) and South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust (SWFT)—share how they are integrating sustainability into core improvement work using the SusQI framework.

This resource offers:

• Practical strategies for embedding sustainability into existing QI training and approaches (VMPS, QSIR)

• Real-world insights into overcoming barriers and building confidence in SusQI

• Inspiring case studies (e.g., cutting single-use plastics, reducing low-value testing)

Why it matters:
The climate crisis is a health crisis. These Trusts are showing that embedding sustainability in QI improves care, saves resources, motivates staff, and supports Net Zero goals.
