Greener practice

At Oak Street Medical Practice, we acknowledge the links between our environment and the health of our patients. The climate emergency is also a health emergency, and healthcare makes up 5.4% of the UK’s carbon emissions.

Fortunately, most of the solutions for the planet also make our health better, such as engaging in active travel and exercise in nature, stopping smoking and avoiding pollution. Our practice is able to make small but significant changes to reduce our environmental impact, benefiting patients and the environment around us.

We are proud to take part in the green impact for health scheme, which follows a structured approach towards to taking these steps. For more information, please visit www.greenerpractice.co.uk.
