Simplifying Sustainability, Meeting CQC Standards, Saving you Money.
With the CQC now including sustainability in inspections, having a compliant and evidence-based approach is crucial for practices. The shift from "key lines of inquiry" to "quality statements" means you must show how you're actively working towards sustainability. While sanctions aren't in place yet, upcoming updates to healthcare waste management regulations (HTM 0701) and decontamination standards (HTM 0105) are expected to make sustainability requirements more stringent.
Go Practice Green is an online, self-paced subscription programme to guide you step-by-step to a more sustainable dental practice.
Embark on a manageable green journey; every small step contributes to a greater change.
Unite for your team with sustainability; your teamwork turns green dreams into actionable reality.
Share your green commitments authentically & confidently with your patients and the public.
Earn accolades as you rise through the levels; your efforts inspire and lead the way.
Sustainability isn't just about protecting the planet—it's about protecting your practice's bottom line. Reducing clinical waste, managing supplies better, and saving energy can cut costs by thousands of pounds every year.
For example, correctly sorting waste can save up to 30% on disposal costs.
Patients are also looking for environmentally responsible practices, and going green helps build trust, attract new patients, and strengthen your reputation.
At the same time, engaging your team in sustainability improves motivation and creates a sense of purpose in the workplace.
