Following a highly successful regional event, Swansea Bay and Hywel Dda University Health Boards came together to collaborate again on the Welsh NHS Sustainability Conference & Awards. The first national event of its kind in Wales, saw exceptional levels of engagement from all 13 NHS organisations. Delegates were taken on a journey from climate mitigation through to adaptation, shown outstanding examples of innovative projects and heard from colleagues involved in this agenda from all corners of the NHS. We met the challenge of ‘Spread & Scale’ with interactive sessions led by The Dragon’s Heart Institute with the key message of delivering sustainable healthcare being reinforced by experts and leaders alike.

In its second year, the Welsh NHS Sustainability Conference & Awards is going big! Delivering sustainable healthcare has never been more important, and this event is designed by those meeting the challenge, for colleagues and partners across the country. Collaboration across the system to evolve more quickly and protect those who are most exposed to climate risk is imperative. To do this we need to work together to achieve net zero so shared goals and strengthened relationships will be the key to success. With a refreshing line up and sessions focussed on the gaps in sustainability in the NHS in Wales, we aim to build on the messaging of the first event and deliver real outcomes. After all, SUSTAINABILITY IS A TEAM SPORT
