Reducing Carbon Emissions
Organisation: NHS England – Greener NHS
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, which provided a detailed account of the modelling and analytics underpinning the latest NHS carbon footprint, trajectories to net zero and the interventions required to achieve that ambition.
The impact of our work
Following publication, we led the development of a Data and Metrics Framework to monitor the progress of actions taken, review the success of identified interventions, measure performance against net zero trajectories and identify priority areas for investment. The framework provided the basis for accountability at NHS Public Board.

National Performance and Population Health Dashboard development
We led a consortium that developed and delivered the National Performance and Population Health Dashboard (‘ViewPoint’), which recorded over 30k registered users and over 1.5k weekly visits just three months after its launch.
PCN demand management, capacity and forecasting
In 2021, we developed tailored infrastructure toolkits for each of the 47 Primary Care Networks (PCNs) in North East London (NEL) to inform strategic planning decisions for future investments, ahead of the expected 13% population growth in NEL by 2031.
Net Zero Travel and Transport
We worked with NHS England to establish the first-ever Net Zero Travel and Transport team, recruiting and onboarding the new team and connecting stakeholders from disparate sectors with shared aspirations.
