Paul Chandler
Deputy Director, Net Zero Travel & Transport at NHS England
This is one of the UK’s leading conferences showcasing the innovative technology being developed to make healthcare more sustainable. Highlighting the potential of technologies to fast-track solutions to eradicate key polluters within the industry is a key ambition to help reduce the carbon emissions and waste of the healthcare system and meet the goals laid out by the government to reach net zero.
In the UK, green technology is a rapidly growing sector within healthcare. Climate change poses a major threat to our health as well as our planet. The environment is changing, that change is accelerating, and this has direct and immediate consequences for our patients, the public and the NHS. Tackling climate change through reducing harmful carbon emissions will improve health and save lives. Here in the UK, air pollution is the single greatest environmental threat to human health, accounting for 1 in 20 deaths. In response to the health threat posed by climate change, the NHS became the world’s first health service to commit to a target of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. Technology plays a key role in fast-tracking the improvement of whole populations’ health outcomes. This show will champion and educate attendees on the technological innovation in health, inspiring more creation and advances in the field.
