Authors: Catherine Floyd, Sian Evans, Angharad Wooldridge
Published on: 5th May 2025
NHS Wales is on the path towards decarbonisation and net zero by 2050. The Greener Primary Care Wales Framework and Award Scheme (the Scheme) is a tool to give primary care contractors structure, prompts and feedback to make changes within their practice in line with this goal.
This report outlines the progress the Scheme has made in estimating the cumulative carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) impact of participating practices over the three years 2022 to 2024, and a testing of what support is available to help practices estimate their CO2e impact at practice level.
