Sustainability in Quality Improvement (SusQI) is an approach to improving healthcare in a holistic way, by assessing quality and value through the sustainable value lens. Join our SusQI (19 Nov) & Teaching SusQI (3 Dec) courses: sustainablehealthcare.org.uk/events
“Sustainability or 'green' projects are often difficult to get approved... however, saving money and patient care is already part of the core focus of many trusts, so 'disguising' sustainability as Quality Improvement is just brilliant." CSH Course Participant

Between 2015 and 2024, the number of days exceeding 30C in the UK more than trebled compared with 1961-1990 average. Trees can lower surface temperatures by up to 12°C. Trees also help to cool buildings too. We provide fully funded trees to healthcare sites. Our goal is to expand tree cover and increase healthy spaces.
