Decarbonising the NHS North 2027 Conference
The HIL Decarbonising the NHS North 2027 Conference will take place on 10th February at Queens Hotel, Leeds.
Due to high demand and a continued aim to encourage regional collaboration across the NHS, additional dates have been added to this event series as it enters its 3rd year.
This annual conference series brings together leaders in Sustainability, Facilities, Estates, and Climate Change Policy from NHS trusts and Integrated Care Boards to discuss progress in strengthening healthcare resilience against the growing impacts of climate change.
Delegates in attendance will include:
| Directors of Climate Change and Environmental Health | Heads of Procurement & Supply Chain |
| Net Zero Travel and Transport Managers | Corporate Governance and Business Managers |
| Heads of Contracts and Commissioning | Heads of Operational & Clinical Waste Management |
| Decarbonisation & Net Zero Managers | Energy & Sustainability Managers |
| Business Change Manager | Heads of Capital, Estates & Facilities |
Attendees will be given the opportunity to make a difference within their own trust or integrated care board and to replicate evidence-based, best practice models of care and service delivery across wider parts of the health system.
To strengthen collaboration across the UK’s health systems, this conference will form part of a dedicated series of events in England, Wales, and Scotland to review NHS policy within each nation.
