eLearning: delivering greener, more sustainable, net zero mental healthcare
The Royal College of Psychiatrists have launched a free eLearning module to support mental health professionals to learn more about the need for change and how to put the resource recommendations into action.
The module is aimed at everyone involved in providing mental health care, from frontline staff to senior leaders. It aims to provide learning around how to identify carbon intensive processes, how improving sustainability can benefit quality of care and supports individuals to understand how they can influence system change. Learners will come away with tangible actions and next steps to implement in their own practice to support their journey to net zero.
