Sustainability at work - Simple Steps to Go Green in the NHS

The NHS has committed to reaching net zero, but for many of us, knowing where to start or how to contribute can feel daunting. You might care deeply about sustainability, but feel unsure about what you can actually do. This session is designed to spark ideas and share learning.

We’re passionate about sustainability, but we’re not the experts. So, this webinar aims to bring together likeminded individuals from across the NHS to explore how we can support greener practices in our work. We’ll share what’s already working and support each other to take action.

Lead facilitators

Sally Vaughan

Sally started her career as an NHS General Management Trainee in 2006, gaining an MSc in Healthcare Leadership and Management as part of this programme. She has worked in various operational management roles across mental health and acute services since then, mainly in London teaching hospitals. More recently she was the Associate Director for Surgery, Theatres, Anaesthetics and Critical Care at Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, successfully leading those services through the Covid pandemic surges and elective recovery phases. Sally is a qualified coach and has training in Quality Improvement methodology.

Sally supported the opening of the Heatherwood Hospital as a state of the art orthopaedic and opthalmology elective centre at Frimley Health and increased Critical Care capacity permanently as part of the post-Covid response. Her leadership and coordination of surgical services at Frimley saw some of the first 'green pathway' elective patients treated outside of London in a Covid-safe environment against a backdrop of her Trust treating the 4th highest level of Covid patients in the country.

Sally has completed the Nye Bevan Programme and she is a MBTI Step I and Step II qualified facilitator. She also has a Post-Grad Diploma in Organisational Development Practice.
