Leadership and governance
A strategic action plan has been developed, which sets out a detailed roadmap for NHS Golden Jubilee to achieve the goals laid out in the NHS Scotland Climate Emergency and Sustainability Strategy 2022-2026.
The plan has progressed well during 2024/2025 and will be published in 2025/2026.
A governance structure is in place to ensure a coordinated implementation of our sustainability and climate change objectives. This includes:
- Promote a sustainable healthcare environment and the delivery of greener models of healthcare for the benefit of staff, patients and other stakeholders.
- Plan, promote and undertake practical and organisational initiatives.
- Promote greater staff and public involvement in the environment and sustainability.
- NHS GJ to act as a point of contact for staff and patients who wish to improve our environment.
- Develop communication with internal and external organisations.
- Advise NHS GJ on developments which have an impact on our external environment and measures to mitigate any impact.
- Challenge potentially environmentally harmful proposals.
Carole Anderson, Director of Transformation, Strategy, Planning and Performance is the Executive Lead. Callum Blackburn, Non-Executive Director, is the Sustainability Champion for the Board. Our strategic action plan will be delivered through the established Climate Change and Sustainability Strategic Group.
This group will be supported on the delivery of our aims through a number of programme teams with specific responsibilities in:
- Energy and Waste Conservation
- Green Healthcare
- Sustainable Travel and Transport
- Procurement
- Greenspace and Biodiversity
