The Academic Health Science Network (AHSN) Network Environmental Sustainability Community of Interest is hosting a series of sharing and learning events that aim to share best practice innovations and initiatives to support delivery of a Net Zero NHS.
This online event will focus on reducing the environmental impact of asthma inhalers, concentrating on policies and pathways for adults.
Medicines account for up to 25% of emissions within the NHS, with inhalers making up 3% of these emissions. The Delivering a Net Zero NHS policy outlines possible interventions including optimising prescribing, substituting high carbon products for low-carbon alternatives, and improvements in production and waste processes.
The event is open to anyone working in the NHS with an interest in environmental sustainability but will be of particular interest to those working in primary care, respiratory clinicians, pharmacists interested in respiratory and NHS sustainability leads.

Referring minor illness patients from general practice to a pharmacist: a new referral pathway
Learn about the GP referral pathway to the NHS Community Pharmacist Consultation Service (CPCS) for minor illness and how to incorporate community pharmacy into the primary care team. Join us to find out more about CPCS and the referral pathway, how it works, how to sign up and how your practice can make the most of the service.
You will hear from GPs, practice staff and pharmacists about the difference the programme has made to their PCN, practice and patients. You will also find out about the consultation skills training provided to pharmacists to support them in delivering the service.
The session will demonstrate how relationships can be built between general practice and community pharmacy in a practical and approachable way and provide an opportunity to ask questions and engage with speakers
