Extensive review of large acute NHS Trusts
Identified unwarranted variation

“Lord Carter's review of efficiency in hospitals suggests how large savings can be made by the NHS. The final report, productivity in hospitals, sets out how non-specialist acute trusts can reduce unwarranted variation in productivity and efficiency to save the NHS £5 billion each year by 2020/21.” (Kingsfund, 2016)

6. We know our workforce are key
Our approach
Embedding sustainable practice in organisations is key to our collective success, so at NHSI are approach is focused around three areas we hope will facilitate this:
To Lead: help provider organisations embed Sustainability throughout their orangnsaitions, from Board to Ward and out into their communities to deliver the very best care for patients and the very best environments for our staff
To Engage: To engage extensively with our stakeholders to drive positive change at both a local and national level and nurture a culture of engaging behaviour across the system
To Innovate: To drive and deliver accelerated innovation for positive Environmental, Social and Economic benefit – the three pillars of sustainability
To celebrate success: To celebrate the success of those who work hard to deliver these transformational changes in their organisations, recognising their efforts and dedication
We know our workforce are key

7. Better Buildings for our Patients
Focused on creating a sustainable healthcare estate transitioning our hospitals and care facilities beacons to best practice that improve our patient experience, reduce our use of resource and connect us with our local communities and environment
Transitioning to LED lighting to provide better lit, higher quality environments for patients with lower energy and carbon impact
Running our hospitals on renewable energy generated onsite, providing consistent heating for our patients during the winter months and an all year round supply of hot water
Reducing waste and water usage within our buildings, driving the circular economy
Using our hospitals as anchor organisations to drive wider community and health benefits
Pushing the boundaries of innovation
Developing supportive policies and guidance to underpin current and future best practice
Collect and use useful data - improving quality and granularity
Our aim is to take £150M off our annual energy spend (currently £540M) by 2021 – reducing financial pressure on our clinical service
Working to deliver Healthy, Resilient, Sustainable Healthcare Estates

8. Our People People are key to our success
Nursing play a crucial role in how buildings are operated and used, and in what items are bought and thrown away
Waste/Energy/Sustainability Managers are critical catalysts for implementing best practice, introducing innovation and driving change within hospitals and care facilities
Service Leads have the opportunity to revolutionise their service and maximise their impact on environmental progress
Procurement Leads directly influence the buying culture of an organsiation and by applying the principles of sustainable procurement, can influence the wider supply chain
Estate Managers influence the efficiency and impact of our built environment and facilitate changes that benefit our patients, the environment and local community
Finance Managers shape how organsiations approach investment for sustainable improvement
And these are just a few…the best things happen when we join together in our thinking and our approach to deliver small changes that can transform our workplaces
Developing the knowledge and expertise of our national workforce around Sustainable Development is key and will shape the future culture of our NHS

9. Organisational Leadership
Organsiational Leadership underpins the principles of this cultural shift
Core areas of focus:
Sustainable Development Management Plans (SDMP): Board approved plan setting out the corporate approach to Sustainable Development with clearly defined objectives and targets, and updated within the past 3 years
Sustainable Development Assessment Tool (SDAT): Online self-assessment/diagnostic tool which aligns organisational action(s) with UN SD Goals. Allows organisations to track progress and benchmark themselves against similar organsiations. Supports collaboration and aligns/informs SDMP
Annual report: Organisations to report annually on their progress. There is an informal review annually (SDU) and NHSI + HFMA issue excellence certificates with SDU- top % of Providers and CCGs
Trained and knowledgeable workforce: core, job specific training, information and support on Sustainable Development, with specific SD objectives embedded into performance targets
Strong leadership in Sustainable Development is a demonstrable measure of a well-led organistation
