Join us & our inspiring panelists for a free two-part shared learning forum on embedding sustainability into QI education, training and practice.

Embedding environmental and social sustainability into QI education, training and practice can help healthcare professionals to contribute to the NHS commitment to a Net Zero health system. The ‘SusQI’ framework developed by the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare offers a practical tool for reducing the negative environmental impact of healthcare, whilst building social value at every opportunity.

This foundation course explains how dentistry contributes to climate change and ecological degradation, and helps dental care professionals and support staff in primary and secondary care to apply sustainable practices in their work. It offers an overview of the relationship between dentistry, health, and the climate and ecological crises. How are dentistry and healthcare both vulnerable to and contributing to climate change and ecological degradation? What would sustainable dentistry look like? What might the wider benefits be and how can we achieve this?
