Climate Action related activity isn’t just something that happens behind the scenes. Every person connected to NHS Scotland – whatever your role, background or contribution – can make a meaningful difference.
There are a growing range of opportunities emerging from Climate Action work across NHS Scotland that offer practical, purposeful ways to get involved in shaping a healthier, more sustainable future.
Explore how you can take part – through your role, organisation, or networks.
Suppliers
By offering low‑carbon, high‑value goods and services, supporting fair work and local employment, strengthening regional supply chains, reducing waste through circular approaches, and contributing to place‑based community benefits, suppliers can work with us to deliver solutions that improve sustainability, reduce environmental impact and support the wellbeing of people and communities across Scotland.
Workforce
The totality of the NHS Scotland Workforce effectively makes the NHS in Scotland, equivalent to being Scotland’s fourth largest city.
The opportunity that brings when the totality of efforts come together is significant – where everyday sustainable choices and actions, can amount to major change in how we operate more sustainably.
Third Sector
Anchor ambitions across Scotland’s public services recognise that we create the most impact when we work in partnership with the communities we serve.
The third sector plays a vital role in that – bringing local insight, lived experience, innovation and trusted relationships that help turn national ambition into meaningful change.
