Greener NHS

Aligned with the NHS Long Term Plan and wider system priorities across local areas, the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Green Plan 2025-28 is a high-level strategic document that is intended as a ‘living’ document with key aims focusing on:

• Improving outcomes in population health and healthcare
• Tackling inequalities in outcomes, experience and access
• Enhancing productivity and value for money
• Helping the NHS to support broader social and economic development

The ICB’s aim of delivering joined-up, sustainable, person-centred care close to home is set out in our updated Green Plan, which places greater emphasis on managing resources, performance and delivery to transform how health and care services are provided.

This updated Green Plan aims to enable collaborative system working to meet the needs of patients and residents, while recognising and reinforcing the positive impacts of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving health outcomes across the system. Sustainability will continue to run as a green thread through all areas of planning, delivery, and transformation.

We would like to thank all contributors and system partners for their collective support in developing this strategy and for working together to set out a joint approach to delivering the key areas of focus across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.
