Meeting CQC Requirements, Simplified Sustainability
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.
We understand that dental practices are busy.
That's why our Foundation Module provides an easy start: get your sustainability certification in just 2 hours. This module gives you the knowledge and tools to take the first steps towards compliance, without disrupting your daily operations.
After completing the Foundation Module, our subscription platform offers ongoing support to help you build on your progress.
For £35 per month, you'll gain access to audits, educational resources, and monthly group calls.
Our platform makes it easy to integrate sustainability while meeting CQC requirements. You'll not only demonstrate compliance but also drive improvements in team engagement and patient communication.
Go Practice Green is fully aligned with 'Clinical guidelines for Environmental sustainability in dentistry' (Trinity College Dublin, OCDO, Faculty Dental Surgery, NHS England).
While sustainability requirements are not yet being rigorously enforced, this will change. By joining Go Practice Green now, you can stay ahead of future regulations and align with the CQC's expectations for good governance and sustainable care.
