Sustainability at the Surgery
Our policy
Parkbury House Surgery recognises that the climate emergency is a health emergency, and therefore is taking steps to reduce its environmental impact and embed sustainable behaviours within the practice culture.
Green Impact Initiative

Having achieved Bronze Level in 2023, we are now increasing our efforts in order to reach Silver Level in 2024.
We are committed to continuing our journey towards sustainability and welcome input and engagement from our patients and staff.

Parkbury House Surgery planted 60 trees
We're proud to be part of the NHS Forest!
We joined the NHS Forest and planted trees for our patients, staff and the local community 2023 to 2024.
The NHS Forest supports healthcare sites to plant trees and develop green spaces.
Planting trees on healthcare sites creates better places to live and work. Trees provide privacy and seclusion for staff and patients, help to cool buildings, provide cleaner air, create habitats for native wildlife and store carbon.
