Entitled ‘Environmentally Sustainable Primary Care’, the book has been written by around 30 experts and includes a substantial section on dentistry.
The book explains the role and responsibility of primary care, covering the impact of the climate crisis on healthcare. It sets out the steps providers should take to operate more sustainably and includes anecdotes, successful projects, guidance and suggestions. It is illustrated with examples from real-life experience supported by published evidence.
The dentistry chapter was written by Davinder Raju, founder of Greener Dentistry Global, and Ciara O’Kane, a specialist advisor for sustainability at the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
The revised CQC regulatory framework has five key headings: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. The quality statement on environmental sustainability sits under the heading ‘well-led’.
