People, Places, Planet: BLMK CARES
BLMK healthcare partners and residents have co-developed our new “Green Plan”, which sets out our vision for:
People: We will improve health and wellbeing, reduce health inequalities, and help our communities adapt to climate change
Places: We will care for our surroundings, supporting the regeneration of the natural environment, and reduce pollution from health and care services.
Planet: We will reduce healthcare-associated greenhouse gas emissions.
To support this vision, we worked with staff, partners and residents to create a detailed plan of activities for the coming years. Divided into four themes, it demonstrates that BLMK CARES about sustainable healthcare.
A Rapid Health Impact Assessment of the new BLMK Green Plan was undertaken in autumn 2025 (based on a full health impact assessment of the previous Green Plan).
To find out more about our plans for Culture, Adaptation, Resources and Environmentally Sustainable services, and how we plan to deliver our vision of People, Places and Planet, download the Green Plan 2025-2032.
We have been working on sustainable healthcare in BLMK for many years. You can still download the previous BLMK ICS Green Plan (2022-2025) and the associated Health Impact Assessment to see our previous plans.
