WEBINAR
Environmental Sustainability in Health and Social Care | implementing the CQC's guidelines
Background:
Environmental sustainability has emerged as a critical quality statement in the Care Quality Commission’s (CQC) new single assessment framework, specifically within the Well-Led domain. Introduced as part of the CQC’s ongoing efforts to enhance the quality and safety of care, this new focus aims to ensure that health and social care providers contribute to a sustainable environment. This policy change reflects a broader recognition of healthcare services’ impact on the environment and the necessity for sustainable practices.
This is a new assessment area for all CQC-registered providers. NHS trusts are already been assessed in this area and all other providers will be assessed on these criteria from approximately March 2025. For many organisations, this will be the first time they are evaluated on their environmental sustainability practices. Understanding the impact of climate change and the implementation low carbon initiatives is essential for future compliance and demonstrating a commitment to environmental responsibility, which can enhance public health.
