This self-paced short course will fast track your understanding of sustainable healthcare.

We are living in a time when the impacts of climate change, planetary and human health are crucial to our daily lives. Health professionals, organisations, educators, industry bodies and leading global experts all agree; there is a rapidly growing need to understand the health sector’s contribution to the environmental and climate crises.

The course equips you with foundational knowledge of planetary health and an understanding of the urgent need to reorient our health systems by focusing on rapid decarbonisation and transition to circular economy principles.

The course made me reflect on aspects of sustainability I hadn’t fully considered before, especially procurement, which is highly relevant to my role. I now find myself thinking more broadly about production and transport emissions, not just waste. The modules were engaging and thought-provoking, and it’s encouraging to see the momentum behind sustainable healthcare globally.
– Janet, Laboratory Manager, Higher Education Sector
