Info: Modern general practice faces increasing pressure to manage costs while delivering exceptional patient care. Often sustainability in the environmental sense takes a back seat, due to a perception of cost and time barriers. Frome Medical Practice have successfully implemented multiple sustainability initiatives into their working processes. Drawing from real life experience, we'll examine how to reduce waste and consumption, optimise energy efficiency, and streamline operations without compromising care quality or overall business profitability. Focused on practical lessons learned and actionable insights, this talk will show how healthcare professionals can integrate sustainability into their business strategy while maintaining strong commercial outcomes.
