The healthcare sector, particularly in the UK, is a significant contributor to carbon emissions due to energy-intensive operations, extensive use of medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and substantial waste production. Effective carbon reduction strategies in this sector require a multifaceted approach that integrates clinical, operational, and sustainability considerations. Carbon reduction planning in healthcare is crucial for minimizing the environmental impact while ensuring the sustainability of healthcare services. A holistic approach, integrating energy efficiency, waste reduction, sustainable procurement, and education, can significantly reduce the sector's carbon footprint. The goal must be to create a healthcare system that is resilient, efficient, and environmentally responsible, contributing positively to both public health and the planet.​​
