You are a healthcare worker / clinician who would like your organisation to run a green team competition.
​
It’s people like you who are really driving clinical action in sustainability – thank you!
​
As the green team competition is run organisation wide (with 6 teams selected to take part) engagement of senior leadership is essential to commission and successfully host the competition.
​
We know you are busy, and so the actions below are designed to make this engagement as easy as possible for you.
1. Find out who to speak to:
Identify the relevant leads in your organisation who could commission the competition. This may include members from the following teams:
-
Quality improvement, clinical audit, innovation, GIRFT
-
Sustainability
-
Estates and/or facilities
-
Procurement
-
Strategy
2. Send identified staff an introductory email and ask for a meeting using this template.
We at CSH suggest you request to meet with your leads (as in the email template) for a 30-minute discussion.
3. Meet with identified staff
We suggest meeting to explore how the Green Team competition may be supportive of your organisations sustainability priorities, or to overcome ‘pain points’ - challenges within your organisation. Here are some examples of what these priorities may be and how the green team competition aligns with these.
​
You can facilitate this meeting independently, or contact us to request
