Use the Clean Air Hospital Framework to develop your clean air action plan

Do you work in hospital that wants to understand what you can do to improve air quality in and around your hospital site? If so, why not sign up to become a clean air hospital using the Clean Air Hospital Framework.    

 

The Clean Air Hospital Framework is a free resource being used by hospitals across the UK to clean up their air.  It is a self-assessment tool designed to improve air quality across the hospital site, and in the local community. The framework is focused on seven key areas to tackle air pollution:   

 

  • Travel  
  • Procurement & supply chain 
  • Construction 
  • Energy  
  • Local air quality  
  • Communication & training  
  • Hospital outreach & leadership 

 

The Clean Air Hospital Framework was pioneered alongside Great Ormond Street Hospital and Global Action Plan can assist your hospital in setting priorities and developing clean air action plans.  This presentation can help you engage your colleagues on becoming a clean air hospital.

 

Hospitals becoming the leaders in tackling air pollution can show what we should expect from every workplace. What can hospitals do? 

 

Role model: show leadership by minimising air pollution from activities within the health sector’s control 

Educate: inform patients and the public about the health risks and how to protect their health 

Champion: support policy measures and work with others to improve air quality.
