BASHH is committed to promoting and supporting environmental sustainability within our specialty. In 2024 it endorsed the formation of a joint BASHH BHIVA (British HIV Association) National Sustainable Healthcare Special Interest Group (Sustainability SIG) . BASHH is considering sustainability in all its activities including governance and education.
The below '10 Steps' document is a practical guide to support sexual health and HIV services in reducing the environmental impact of the care they provide. It has been produced by the BASHH BHIVA Sustainable Healthcare SIG and endorsed by the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare.
If you have any comments or suggestions relating to the document or BASHH sustainability , please contact the co-chairs of the SIG by email on rachel.drayton@wales.nhs.uk or amanda.clarke16@nhs.net.
