As a practice, we have many eco-friendly initiatives to try and reduce our environmental impact.
This year (2023) we were so pleased to be awarded the Silver Award in The Greener Primary Care Wales Framework and Award Scheme. This is something that we have worked towards and involves us becoming more sustainable as a practice. Some actions we were already doing, but by joining and becoming part of it, it has enabled us to think about how we change the way we do things.
Some examples include switching to paperless patient files, sending digital reminders / correspondence, recycling old spectacles and used contact lenses.
Changing all our light bulbs to LED bulbs.
Turning off devices at the end of the day rather than leaving them on standby.
