Institutional Rhythms and Energy Demand Working Group: Meeting 3

The third in a series of three non-academic workshops held in Leeds in collaboration with the Nothern England Health and Sustainability NHS Network. The working group was designed to bring together researchers and professionals working on issues of sustainability to co-develop innovative approaches to energy and mobility demand management in the NHS. It consisted of 20 members including NHS sustainability leaders working in hospitals, businesses, and not for profit organisations. Organisations represented include Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, and UCL universities; Airedale, Blackpool, Liverpool, and Leeds hospital trusts; Yorkshire Ambulance Service, Cumbria Outpatient and Patient Transport, Global Action Plan, Lancashire NHS Environmental Procurement, and the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare. The activities of the working group led to the production of the research briefing paper: Institutional Rhythms: Ideas and Opportunities for Energy and Mobility DEMAND Management in the NHS http://www.demand.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/demand-institutional-rhythms.pdf
