Our Strategy

NHS Grampian’s Climate Emergency and Sustainability Strategy (pdf) is all about making healthcare more sustainable and better for the planet. We're focused on tackling climate change locally while aligning with NHS Scotland’s national goals and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). 

Climate change is a global issue that affects health, work, and communities, and it’s linked to health inequalities. To keep delivering the care our communities need, we’re shifting from hospital-based care to more preventative care in the community. 

We're also committed to listening and learning from our partners, sustainability groups, public health experts, and our staff. By working together, sharing best practices, and leading by example, NHS Grampian aims to play a key role in creating a healthier and more sustainable future for the North East of Scotland.
