Net Zero Travel and Transport

Organisation: NHS England

We worked with NHS England to establish the first-ever Net Zero Travel and Transport team. We recruited and onboarded the new team and established its culture of brokering innovation, breaking down silos, and connecting stakeholders from disparate sectors who shared aspirations. 

The impact of our work

We wrote the team’s first programme plan and designed and led the programme which led to the real-world testing and unveiling of the world’s first zero-emission ambulance at COP26. We created an integrated governance structure, drafted net zero ambulance vehicle and duty cycle specifications, developed feasibility and innovation competitions and submitted a 5-year CSR bid to transition the NHS fleet to net zero.

Greener NHS Comms and Engagement planning

We supported communications and engagement for the Greener NHS programme before and during COP26. This work contributed to over 220 organisations participating in the COP26 Healthier Planet, Healthier People campaign, and a 345% increase in visits to the Greener NHS website.

Reducing Carbon Emissions

We were commissioned by the NHS England Greener NHS programme to lead the analytical planning and modelling of interventions to reduce carbon emissions across the NHS. Our work contributed significantly to the successful publication of Delivering a Net Zero National Health Service.

Place-based integration in City and Hackney

We provided strategy and programme support to City and Hackney CCG in North East London (NEL) over three years to strengthen collaborative working and accelerate out-of-hospital partnership programmes around local strategic priorities. The governance framework we developed is now in place, with elements of it being adopted by other local Place-based Partnerships.
