Clinical Environmental Action Network (Clinical)
The Clinical Environmental Action Network (CLEAN) brings together colleagues from across NHS Scotland and the Scottish Government who are working to embed environmental sustainability into clinical practice and policy.
The network provides a forum to share learning, showcase innovation, and connect individuals and teams delivering more sustainable models of care. Through regular meetings and knowledge-sharing sessions, members can learn from practical examples, hear from expert speakers, and explore opportunities to reduce the environmental impact of healthcare.
While the focus is on clinical practice, the network welcomes all staff with an interest in sustainability and supporting NHS Scotland's journey towards a net zero health service.
