In December 2021, the Notts LMC Green Group was created to promote green initiatives and sustainability within practices.
We meet and share learning with colleagues from the Greener Practice East Midlands to offer quick, simple changes as well as long term changes that practices can do to become greener.
If you would like more information on the Notts LMC Green Group, please contact liaison@nottslmc.co.uk.
The Green Group has created a Green Champion Welcome Pack which has lots of information about how your practice can ‘go green’!
This is a free online non-clinical carbon footprint calculator for General Practices in the UK to use. The calculator measures and identifies the non-clinical greenhouse gas emission hotspots from running our practices and produces a carbon equivalent footprint. Non clinical greenhouse gas emissions accounts for about 40% of the emissions from primary care according to the Lancet, Planetary Health.

There is a variety of support and resources available to practices wanting to improve their sustainability.
The East Midlands Greener Practice group was set up in late 2021. Their aim is to support each other in working towards more sustainable practice, sharing ideas and resources. They meet virtually every 6-8 weeks and have an optional WhatsApp group. No prior knowledge or experience is needed, just an interest in environmentally friendly working and improving patient care. All primary care staff are welcome, clinical or non-clinical, working or retired.
The LMC Green Group has created checklists for practice premises and potential money saving changes that can be made:
